Voters in the Lake Oswego School District approved a construction bond that will preserve a tax of 90 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to replace two aging elementary buildings. Partial returns as of 8 p.m. showed the bond passing with 70% of the vote.

The measure will provide $245 million to replace two aging elementary schools , Forest Hills and Lake Grove, pay for upgrades at 11 other school buildings and build a dedicated space for the district’s program for 18- to 21-year-olds with disabilities who need support as they transition into adulthood. Work on Forest Hills would start first, followed by Lake Grove in 2027.
