Klamath County – Thank You For Supporting Our County Schools!
The Citizens for Klamath County Schools Political Action Committee is grateful to the voters of Klamath County School District by responding with a YES vote on the $31 million bond measure.
Initial results as of 8:00 p.m. Tuesday show Measure 18-91 failing by a tight margin, 4,164 yes votes (49.06%) to 4,324 no votes (50.94%). However, by 11:00 p.m. that margin was flipped and 18-91 passed, 5,352 yes votes to 5,184 no votes, or 50.80% in favor to 49.20% opposed.
THANK YOU, KLAMATH! For the first time in nearly 40 years, voters in the Klamath County School District have come together to build a better future for our youth.
It will be such a thrill in the coming months to see work get started on repairing and renovating schools throughout the county, and planning begin for construction of a brand new elementary school at Henley.
We’re especially grateful to our 18 leading financial supporters, who contributed generously to our campaign fund, or who made in-kind contributions of labor or advertising credit. Another 20 local businesses demonstrated additional support for the campaign.
We appreciate statements of support that came from local organizations, community leaders and media companies.
We were thrilled to see more than 800 local residents step forward to say they would lend their names to the campaign. This overwhelming demonstration of support for our schools surely played a critical role in the success we can now all savor.
Finally, officers and directors of the PAC wish to thank all our volunteers who planted signs, handed out brochures, made phone calls, knocked on doors or served in so many other ways. Great work, everyone!
