Colton voters sink school bond

Colton/Uniontown voters Tuesday struck down the $5.l6 million bond proposal for remodeling the school. Preliminary results from Tuesday night’s returns showed 197 yes votes for a 52.12 percent approval rate, almost eight percent short of the 60 percent needed for approval.

“We’re disappointed - that’s for sure. There still are some votes out so I guess we still have a little bit of a chance,” said Colton Superintendent Nate Smith.

The school would have to receive 69 percent approval from the 339 ballots not included in Tuesday’s count. That equates to 234 yes votes.
