Columbus Voters Approve 1 of 3 Referenda

Channel3000:

Columbus voters decided three school district proposals at a special referendum election Tuesday.

Voters approved only one of the three proposals on Tuesday, WISC-TV reported.
Voters approved the first question to set aside $700,000 over 10 years for maintenance costs.

However, voters soundly defeated a proposal to put $200,000 into a 4-year-old kindergarten program for the next three years. That proposal lost by more than 400 votes, WISC-TV reported.

Voters also rejected spending $300,000 over the next five years for technology improvements, including updating district computers.
