There appears to be turnout

At a quarter to six, my precinct had recorded 279 voters for the OCPS school-bond issue, which, owing to the way the laws are written, wound up as four separate issues on the ballot. This is about half again what I'd expected, although we're still a long way from long lines at the polls. Traffic was hopelessly snarled, though this was due more to the reconstruction of 50th Street than to any likely electoral urgency.

Update, 9:20 pm: All four measures passed, by considerable margins:

1. Gymnasiums, classrooms, roof replacements and HVAC work: 11,183 to 3,038.
   
2. Classroom technology and programs to track student progress: 11,082 to 3,073.
   
3. Replacement of old district buses: 11,003 to 3,121.
   
4. Safety/security improvements: 11,080 to 3,018.
   

And really, turnout of a shade over 14,000 isn't too shabby in a district with fewer than 40,000 students. (More detail on the individual propositions, should you so desire.)

New millages are due out this month, but the number for OCPS is not expected to vary much from the current 57.07. (Property taxes in Oklahoma County include separate millages for the county itself, for individual municipalities, for the pertinent school district, and the vocational school and/or junior-college district.)
