Newark school propositions approved

Yesterday, Newark School District voters approved three propositions totaling over $2.6 million.

Residents gave the okay for computers costing $2.3 million by a vote of 555-377; and new buses with a vote of 599-362. The purchase of a land parcel on the east side of the high school property passed 518-453. The new land will be used for parking.

As a result of the vote, a typical home in the district assessed for $65,000 will see an increase of about $6.50 a year, as state aid is expected to pay for between 81 and 88 percent of the spending approved.
