Voters in the Appoquinimink School district will be getting $268 million for capital expenditures.
Voters gave their overwhelming approval to two referendum questions by a 5000 to 2000 vote margin.
The school board president Richard Forsten hailed the vote as evidence of getting the word out to voters.
School superintendent Matt Burrows noted that the district is the fastest growing in the state of Virginia.
The Daily Times reports that the district has grown from around 3-thousand students ten years ago to around 10-thousand this year.
The paper says that last year alone saw an increase of 500 students.
