School bonds in Oklahoma must earn a 60% supermajority at the polls in order to pass. Because of this, even though 58.5% of voters said “yes” to the construction bond, it still failed.

Owasso Public Schools had big plans for the bond package. The biggest price tag is a $62 million plan to build a new 5th-grade center.

A $4.4 million transportation bond proposal did get Owasso voters’ approval. 61.6% of voters approved, meaning Owasso’s Proposition 2 passed.
