For supporters of public schools in Tacoma and Puyallup, this is not a day for complacency.
The Tacoma School Board has delivered on a promise made to voters during the February bond campaign for new schools: lower tax rates, for now.
The Puyallup School District will not rerun a bond measure this spring.
The elected board of Pierce County's second-largest school district met in a special session this morning and took no action, meaning there's no chance a bond package could return for the next available election on April 23.
With today’s election deadline approaching, school bond supporters in Tacoma and Puyallup are watching ballot returns carefully. And it’s not just about yes votes and no votes, which won't be tallied until tonight.
