Final Results: $250M Fairfax County Bond Referendum

Fairfax voters overwhelmingly approved a $250-million bond referendum aimed primarily at building new schools and renovating old ones, including three Reston elementary schools.

Unofficial poll results Tuesday showed 73.84 percent of Fairfax County voters supported the referendum, according to the Virginia State Board of Elections. Complete referendum results.

The 2013 school bond referendum was selected by the FCPS School Board last May. It includes $42 million for new construction, $8.2 million for school expansion, and $276 million for school renovations.

In Reston, the bond calls for renovations totaling $20 million for Terraset, $19.2 million for Woodlawn and $14.9 million for Forestville elementary schools. About $1 million would go toward expanding capacity for South Lakes High School.

Costs not covered with this referendum would be paid from funds left over from prior bond issues.
