Early election night results show that Measure E, an initiative that would authorize a $36 million bond for classroom repairs and creek stabilization for the Woodside Elementary School District is leading a vote of 64.3% to pass, according to final election night results.
The San Mateo County Elections Office reported that 467 voters have voted yes on the measure and 259 have voted no.
Results so far include vote-by-mail ballots received in the mail, and returned to vote centers and ballot drop boxes, by Friday, March 1, along with all ballots cast at vote centers, according to the Elections Office. Results do not include: vote-by-mail ballots received after March 1 and provisional ballots.
This bond measure would fund repairs and facility improvements for Woodside Elementary, including HVAC units, fixing leaking roofs, classroom updates and creek stabilization project to ensure the school is up to code.
YES on Measure E, a campaign led by school board president Jenny Hayden and campaign co-chair Christina Hengehold, raised $52,000, according to its latest campaign finance report.
“I’m feeling really good,” Hayden said shortly after 8 p.m. on election night. “I’m grateful to the voters in Woodside that they want to continue to invest in the school. I feel a lot of responsibility that we spend it wisely. Now onto the nitty gritty of the facilities planning.”
Measure E will need 55% voter approval to pass. Election night results include votes by mail ballots received by mail and returned at ballot drop boxes and vote centers by March 1.
