Voters in the Mount Pleasant School District voted down a proposed bond issue yesterday, with 70% of voters against the referendum and 30% voting in favor. The $16.9 million bond issue would have financed updates at the district’s four elementary schools and improvements to their information technology systems and programs. Projects at the elementary schools included safety improvements to entrances as well as the installation of new heating and air conditioning systems. Plans also involved the construction of new gymnasiums at Salem and Lincoln Elementary.
