Humphrey’s Public School’s attempt to build a new 7-12 facility was defeated Tuesday 634-455 in a mail-in ballot election.
The General Obligation School Building Bonds were not to exceed $39.5 million to construct a 7-12 facility.
“The results are in and unfortunately the bond did not pass,” HPS Superintendent Brice King said. “For those who are disappointed, we are too. That said, it is encouraging to see the number of people in support of our school and understand the needs of our students. We hope that all members of the district will thoughtfully consider the next steps forward as the issues facing Humphrey Public Schools facilities are real and not going away. We thank all individuals who invested time in the process. We hope the next steps will result in a positive outcome and provide many additional opportunities for the students of our communities.”
