Two property taxes that would have funded myriad improvements and salaries for the St. Landry Parish School System were rejected by voters Saturday night.

With election day polling complete and all early voting, Proposition 1 failed 65 percent to 35 percent, and Proposition 2 failed 67 percent to 33 percent.

Proposition 1 would have funded school safety and security personnel, counselors, nurses, and salary increases for all employees.

Proposition 2 would have paid for safety and security facilities, football, soccer and track facilies, as well as performing arts facilities.
