Modesto school districts' bond measures need 55% to pass. Here's what early update shows

Editor’s note: Election result numbers in the story will continue to be updated. The numbers in the graphic below are the most up-to-date. Of two Modesto school bond measures that need a 55% supermajority to pass, one appears to have won handily in updated unofficial election results posted early Wednesday morning. The other still needs less than a percentage point of additional support. Modesto City Schools’ Measure K is for only its high school district. In the first updated results, the measure has 58.5% support, or 23,848 votes. Opposition is 41.5%, or 16,884 votes. It would authorize the sale of up to $250 million in bonds by the district and “allow the district to issue additional bonds while extending the current bond tax rate paid by local property owners at a reduced rate of approximately $24 per $100,000 of assessed (not market) value,” according to the district website. The last time MCS passed a bond measure for its high school district was in 2022 with Measure L. About an hour after the polls closed Tuesday, Superintendent Vanessa Buitrago told The Bee via text message, “We must wait for all votes to be counted, but the early results are encouraging for

Sacramento-area headlines: a CSU labor deal and deadly car crash near Galt

From labor talks at California’s largest public university system to a Halloween costume controversy and a deadly rural crash, here’s a roundup of recent Sacramento-area news. The California State University system reached a tentative agreement with the CSU Employees Union , which represents about 14,500 staff including custodians, nurses and IT specialists. The deal includes a salary step system and a $3,575 bonus in December, with members voting by Nov. 17, even as the faculty union prepares for a possible strike. The Onyx Club in Roseville said it kicked out a man wearing a Nazi armband on Halloween night after a customer complained, pushing back against social media accusations that staff had tolerated the costume. The bar said the man had concealed the armband under a jacket when he entered and was removed after an altercation with another customer. A driver was killed and a 32-year-old woman and a 2-year-old child were seriously injured in a crash Tuesday evening on Alta Mesa Road near Galt. The California Highway Patrol said the Honda Pilot driver turned left into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Silverado about 6:50 p.m.; the pickup driver suffered minor injuries.

Oakdale Irrigation District November 3, 2026

The Oakdale Irrigation District Board of Directors held its Tuesday, November 3, 2026 meeting at its headquarters in Oakdale and on Zoom. Oakdale ID provides water and power to more than 80,000 acres. It gets its surface water from the Stanislaus River and if I understand correctly has pre-1914 water rights. That last sentence is a big part of what makes OID an interesting district to keep your eye on. The Stanislaus River is a tributary of the San Joaquin River and these tributary rivers have had a bullseye on them in the rolling clown car wreck known as the Voluntary Agreements, later changed to HRL*, the Healthy.
