Question 2, a capital project levy that applied only if Question 1 passed, passed with 12,817 yes votes (52.98%) to 11,376 no votes (47.02%).
Dustin Smith (10,395 votes), Jennifer Anderson (9,904 votes), Jessica Olstad (9,890 votes) and Lisa Atkinson (8,994 votes) won the four school board seats on the ballot. Also on the ballot were Aaron Provancha (8,526), Amy Witt (8,315), Rick Storlie (8,047), Nancy Dager (5,929), Dillon Ziegler (3,065) and Amy Bullyan (2,481). Each seat carries a four-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
What's next: The school board will canvass the results at an Election Canvass Meeting on Monday, Nov. 9, followed by its regular meeting, and they stay unofficial until then.
