UPDATE (12:25 a.m.) – The final election night update shows just 50 percent of the vote in favor of Measure Q. 


Initial ballot results show voters split over Measure Q, the Lompoc Unified School District bond measure.

By 9:15 p.m. on election night, approximately 52 percent of the vote was in favor of the measure. It needs 55 percent of the vote to pass.

This measure authorizes the Lompoc Unified School District to issue and sell bonds of up to $79 million in order to update and repair facilities throughout the district. The bond and the interest would be paid through property taxes collected on those within the school district boundary. The tax increase would change each year depending on the interest rate and the original amount needed to be paid. No money from the bond is authorized for teacher or administrator salaries.
