Fifty-eight-percent of the voters approved the eight-point-four (M) million dollar bond issue toreplace the building which is over 90 years old and has been cited for several safety and building code violations. Hampton-Dumont school board president Harry Birdsell was disappointed with the outcome.Birdsell says student safety is a big concern of the school district’s, and a new school is the only solution to the matter.
