HESSTON, Kan. — While voters in Pretty Prairie turned down a
$10.5 million bond issue on Tuesday, a canvass of votes in another bond issue was completed.
When the canvass was done on the recent vote for a bond issue in Hesston USD 460, the results didn’t change. The general vote held Aug. 30 ended with approval of the $33.4 million bond issue by just 10 votes. A canvass of the provisional votes extended that margin to 11.

The bond funds will pay for a major expansion and improvements at Hesston High School, which will allow the district to bring the middle school students to the new area. It also calls for major renovations to the high school, a new gymnasium, improved shop areas and a new auditorium.
