Community School post reports the May 3 vote as 98 yes to 18 no, names Jessica Keehn Anderson and Brian Cole as elected to four-year board terms, and states that the millage supplied about 73 percent of annual district revenue. The Beacon independently reports the vote and election; the official canvass would control if the figures conflict.
