It was the largest bond effort in district history and, at the time, the third-largest bond measure in Oregon. Voters narrowly approved it , with 53% voting in favor and 47% opposed. "I am very pleased that the citizens of Salem and Keizer continue to support the schools and trust the district to use the money wisely and as promised," said then-school board
