If your family's schools run from Leland Middle to North Brunswick High, this one's for you. Brunswick County voters approved a $349.6 million school bond Tuesday to pay for new schools and facility improvements as the county keeps growing.
WWAY reports the bond passed with 54.95% of the vote. It also says many residents were concerned the bond would raise their property taxes.

Elsewhere on the ballot, Port City Daily says preliminary numbers show few changes. Sen. Bill Rabon and Reps. Frank Iler and Carson Smith held their seats, and Commissioner Randy Thompson kept his district 1 seat. The county does gain a new commissioner and a new school board member.
