Polls are open until 8:00 tonight for the Adel DeSoto Minburn community school district’s special election.

The sole item on the agenda reads “Shall the Board of Directors of the Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Community School District in the Counties of Dallas and Madison, State of Iowa, be authorized to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $13,500,000 to provide funds to build, construct, furnish and equip additions to, and to remodel, repair, renovate, improve (including security improvements), to furnish and equip the Adel Elementary and the DeSoto Intermediate buildings, and to improve those sites; to build, construct, furnish and equip additions to and implement security improvements at the Middle and High School building; to remodel, repair, renovate, improve, furnish and equip the High School and to renovate, repair, improve, furnish, equip and retrofit the Old Middle School for use as an administration building?”

In order to pass, the district needs a super majority of 60 percent “yes” votes.

Superintendent Greg Dufoe encourages everyone to get out and exercise their right to vote. He says it might a good idea to do so earlier in the day considering the heavy snow forecasted through the afternoon and evening.

We’ll bring you election results tonight, as they become official.
