EPHRATA — The Quincy School District’s (QSD) proposed $108 million bond measure aimed at constructing a new high school and improving existing schools is passing with just over 63 percent approval.
The count is not final, but with 1,941 total votes counted, results from the Grant County Auditor’s Office show the bond has so far exceeded the supermajority approval threshold needed to pass. At press time Tuesday evening, the Auditor’s Office did not give an estimated number of ballots still left to be counted.
