Proving that the third time is indeed charmed, voters in the school district in southern Kalkaska County and part of Grand Traverse County finally approved a $4-million proposal on Tuesday to fund a variety of building projects and improvements to FACS facilities.

The request was approved by a margin of 1,137 “yes” votes to only 974 “no” votes, according to unofficial election results posted by the Kalkaska County Clerk’s Office following the midterm election Tuesday, Nov. 6.
