Voters in the Marcus Whitman School District approved one capital project Tuesday, but rejected another.
Voters approved spending up to $36 million on infrastructure at the district's three school buildings and transportation building, including roof repairs, HVAC and electrical work, as well as parking lot reconstruction.
51% of the project cost will be paid with state building aid. $2,682,664 will be taken from capital reserves.
The design phase of the project will begin next year, with construction taking place in 2025 and 2026.
Voters rejected by an almost two to one margin, a second proposition for athletic facility upgrades. The project would have included a new turf field at the main athletic stadium, as well as artificial turf infields for the baseball field at the Gorham Elementary School and for the softball field at Valley Elementary.
District officials said the turf fields would mean fewer postponed events and lower field maintenance costs.
