(UPDATED, July 11, to reflect results of a recount in the North Gem School District.)

Round Two turned out better for Kuna School District officials — as voters approved the same $6.38 million levy that had been narrowly rejected in March.

Across the state, voters approved 17 school levies totaling close to $22.1 million. Four levies and one bond issue failed.

In Kuna, school officials say the two-year levy will help pay to keep 30 teachers on the job and protect instruction days. But the levy was again the topic of heated debate, as critics said the district hadn’t done enough to cut costs, and suggested the district save money by outsourcing services.

For much of Tuesday night, the Kuna levy lagged behind the simple majority needed to pass. As of 1 a.m., the levy led by a scant two-vote margin.

In the end, the levy passed with 2,533 yes votes, or a 52.7 percent majority, while 2,272 voters said no.

Voter interest ran high. Some precincts reported long lines and a shortage of ballots, as poll officials scrambled to print off duplicate ballots. Turnout in Ada County precincts approached 42.8 percent. All told, more than 4,800 patrons Tuesday; in March, only 2,193 people voted, as turnout scraped below 20 percent.

Next up: an expected August recall election against School Board member Michael Law, who opposed both levies.

Here’s a statewide look at school elections results:

North Idaho

West Bonner: Like Kuna, this district fared better the second time around. Voters approved a one-year, $3 million levy — two months after rejecting a $3.5 million levy. The $3 million levy accounts for about a quarter of the district’s budget. But like Kuna, the West Bonner levy passed narrowly. The levy received 1,322 yes votes to 1,311 no voters, a razor-thin 50.2 percent majority.

Whitepine: A one-year, $740,000 levy passed with 64 percent support. This too was a slight increase; voters approved a $706,000 levy a year earlier.
