Orem voters appear to be against split from Alpine School District
Early results showed Proposition 2 failing at the polls by a wide margin following an intense campaign on both sides of whether to break away or stay as is. While Orem's local Parent Teacher Association came out against the split, the move was supported by the Utah Taxpayers Association.
Those who supported Proposition 2 believed a new school district would do a better job for the tax base in Orem, as well as help with student scores in junior high and high schools. In other election-related news, preliminary results show a $595 million school bond for the Alpine School District trailing in votes 53-47%.The ballot language stated that the 20-year bond would put $210 a year on a home valued at $500,000 . However, because the bond is staggered with existing bonds that are due to retire, the rate would remain the same and it would basically have a $0 increase.
