THOMPSON, N.D. (AP) - A proposed school expansion and renovation project in Thompson appears to have failed for the third time in four years.

WDAY-TV reports (https://bit.ly/24quzmh ) unofficial results show that an $11 million proposal received the support of 59 percent of voters in Tuesday’s election, but 60 percent approval was needed.

Proposals in 2012 and 2013 also received majority support, but not the required 60 percent supermajority.

The most recent proposal was for new classrooms, a new technical education wing and other improvements. It would have cost the owner of a $200,000 home an additional $600 in property taxes annually for the next two decades
