Voters approve bond, 15th Street school sale


Published/Last Modified on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 2:45 PM MST


Despite controversy surrounding the Douglas Unified School District over the last few months, voters approved two school district related issues at the November 3 election.


In the request to sell bonds for school and athletic field improvements, voters approved the issue by a margin of 443 to 305.

Voters easily passed the request to sell 15th Street School to Chiricahua Community Health Centers to be used for a Pediatric Center of Excellence by a margin of almost 9 to 1, 665 votes to 87.

Voter turnout was low throughout the county, with only 11 percent of registered voters making it to the polls.
