By MATT PIKE St. Joseph Post Mid-Buchanan School District voters approved an eight Millon dollar bond issue for the Faucett school in the Tuesday elections. The bond issue, which will not require a tax increase, received 474 yes votes to 143 no votes. Mid-Buchanan Superintendent Jay Albright says as it got closer to the election, he grew more confident in the measure the district had proposed. "I only say that because we had tons of really positive feedback and great questions, and honestly for me personally as the Superintendent through this entire process, I never had one phone call where somebody was really upset or was really just frustrated with why we're doing it," Albright tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "Now obviously, there might have been some folks, I get that" Albright says while he was confident the bond would pass; he didn't know it would be by such a large margin. "I mean I was crossing my fingers that number one I hope it passes, but number two you know if it settled in somewhere around the 65-70% I was going to be super elated with that," Albright explains. "Then when it came in at 76.82%, it just feels good that the community as a whole just really has that support and trust in what we're trying to do." Albright says now that the bond has passed, design work will begin, and he has already outlined his goals to his staff. "We will have specifications out to bid by hopefully mid to late June and possibly a contractor selected by mid to late July, and potentially dirt moving and construction happening probably right around the time school's going to start," Albright says breaking it down. "So, it could get a little messy, but you know, we'll all work together and it's going to be great."
