Goessel USD 411 patrons passed the local option budget increase for the district, 397 to 107, according to unofficial results released by county clerk Tina Spencer on Tuesday.

“The board of education and administration are deeply appreciative of the support that our patrons show for the school district,” Goessel Superintendent John Fast said. “From the support for the recent bond project to this vote for the LOB, this is just another indicator of the tremendous desire our community has to see the school succeed in difficult times. I have no doubt the board of education will work to exercise constraint and will be prudent in the use of this authority.”
