It’s another “no” from Battle Ground Public Schools voters as the district, for the third time since 2016, failed Tuesday to pick up enough votes to approve a school facilities bond. Voters rejected the $224.9 million bond with 52.1 percent support, 7.9 percent below the 60 percent supermajority required for approval. This is the third time the district has run a school bond since 2016, citing overcrowding at the district’s growing south end and aging facilities.
