61 percent of Groton school district voters approved a bonb measure for a major school renovation project.
The results were 626 votes for yes, 398 for no. Turnout was at approximately 40 percent, with 1,025 people casting ballots out of 2,523 eligible voters.
The bond is for $26 million and will increase property taxes in the school district to the estimated cost of $1.10 per $1,000 in value.
The project includes new classroom additions, demolition of the existing 1934 building and second-floor 1957 classrooms, major renovations of the career and technical education shop, band and choir room, new secured main entrance and more.
