BRIDGEPORT — Voters in western Nebraska have rejected a $7 million school bond proposal.

The Bridgeport School District proposal was defeated 632-444. The bond would have paid for a 27,000-square-foot classroom addition for fourth- and sixth-grade classes, plus an 18,000-square-foot auditorium.

In the north-central Nebraska town of O’Neill, a proposed $8.3 million school bond proposal that would have paid for an addition to the public high school was defeated by a 1,742-893 vote.
