GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Nearly 56 percent of voters have approved a bond measure that will pay for new schools and renovations in the Grand Island district.

The votes were tallied Tuesday from the all-mail election. The measure will add to the district levy about 8 cents per $100 of assessed property value. That amounts to a tax increase of around $80 on a home assessed at $100,000.

The money will be spent on new and replacement schools and renovation and expansion projects.
