What happened
Voters in Gibbon rejected two referendum questions on November 3. The second question proposed a $3.2 million bonding project to demolish old school buildings, which would have received $1.76 million in state credit from Minnesota's Ag2School program. The first question sought a $400,000 tax levy to support school purchases, including new technology and buses.
