North Kitsap’s proposed school bond is failing in the initial returns from Tuesday’s election, according to Kitsap County Auditor Paul Andrews, with just 36.88 percent of the votes counted in favor of the $242 million measure.

Two measures in Bremerton were passing in Tuesday’s returns. Prop. 1, renewing a programs and operations levy, had 62.08 percent of votes in favor. Prop. 2, a bond that would replace two elementary schools and the district’s alternative high school, among other projects, was narrowly passing, with 60.87 percent in favor.

A levy measure for Central Kitsap School District’s levy renewal was trailing, with 48.74 percent of ballots counted in favor.

Two levy measures on Bainbridge Island were both passing, with 73.06 percent in favor of BISD’s Prop. 1 and 74.02 percent in favor of Prop. 2.

Bonds require 60% voter approval, while levies require simple majority (50% plus one).
