2,060 voted No, while 766 voted Yes.

The 2,894 total voters is the largest turnout School District Superintendent Kathleen Davis has seen in her time at Holland Patent.

At 8 p.m. Tuesday night, district officials closed and locked the doors to the Holland Patent Middle School, where the voting took place. The 8 p.m. deadline did not mean the vote stopped, as about 500 people stayed in line until 9 p.m. to finish voting.

Davis says the voters have spoken, and the district will now move on.

"It's time to get about the business of educating our kids. At this point we have to respect that and do what we have to to move forward and maintain with what we have," Davis said.

Davis says if the taxpayers see another capital plan, the proposed multipurpose athletic field will not be part of it. She says that was a big reason why this current proposal was voted down.

"If the voters see anything in May, my prediction would be the contaminated soil and the roofs, and most probably the parking lots at GWF", said Davis. "Those are just general maintenance items".

The 2,894 voters who cast a ballot Tuesday, was more than double the amount of voters in the district's first attempt at this capital project.
