Tuesday a special election was held in the North Butler School District on whether or not the district could extend its Physical Plant and Equipment Levy for another 10-years.
The proposed levy would be 1 dollar and 34 cents per 1-thousand dollars of assessed property value, where it had been 67 cents per 1-thousand dollars of assessed property value.
The PPEL vote failed to pass, with 126 no votes, or 58-point-06 percent, to 91 yes votes, or 41-point-94 percent.
The measure needed a 50 percent majority to pass.
