SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane Public Schools (SPS) bond, part of the Together Spokane initiatives, has garnered 61.37% voter approval with 10,000 ballots still to be counted.
SPS Superintendent Adam Swinyard emphasized the significance of this initiative.
“Expo ‘74 was a catalyst for this entire region,” Swinyard stated. “We really believe that this transformational partnership is the next version of that, and it sets the course for a really bright future.”
SPS Board President Nikki Lockwood highlighted the bond’s long-term benefits.
“This bond will strengthen Spokane for decades to come, and we’re committed to transparency, accountability and ensuring every dollar delivers lasting value,” Lockwood said.
The Spokane Parks Levy, another key Together Spokane initiative, has also seen positive voter reception with 55.45% approval according to the latest preliminary results.
Ryan Lancaster, SPS Executive Director of Communications, noted the anticipation for the final certification of election results for both measures, which are expected to be released on November 25.
