By a vote of 572 to 145, voters approved the public library proposition.

By a vote of 500 to 245, voters approved a proposition to establish a capital reserve fund. The fund cannot exceed $2,000,000 and has a probable term of 10 years. The fund will allow the district to plan for upcoming capital projects and minimize the impact those projects may have on taxpayers in the future.
In the Board of Education election, incumbent Jessica Ziehm (455 votes) was re-elected; she ran unopposed.
“I want to thank our community and taxpayers for continuing to support the district by approving the budget and the additional propositions. This budget will allow us to continue to provide all of our students with a high-quality education.”
