Voters in Selah and Prosser are getting a second chance to approve school bond measures that won a majority but fell shy of the necessary 60 percent supermajority in February. Ballots are due Tuesday for measures with varying details on similar themes. In both cases, the districts want to replace aging buildings that have outlived their usefulness. The bonds in both districts also would upgrade electrical systems so that schools can accommodate widespread use of computers and other new technology. We view this as being crucial in keeping students' skills on par with a wired world.

• Charter School Bonds a Day of Reckoning for Atc Governing Council to Consider Renegotiating $43k Monthly Bond Payments or Moving Out

In the old days, the spring rains and snowmelt would bring globs of mud and debris to the front steps of the dilapidated portable classrooms at the Academy for Technology and the Classics, a charter school that was located in a field behind the Genoveva Chavez Community Center until 2007. The portable buildings that housed the school were drafty and dirty, and every long break would result in more window breakage, vandalism and damage.

This was part of the original planning for the bonds, but in the ensuing months the elementary came into question as costs for the new high school and other district improvements seemed to obligate the expected proceeds. Now, with expected cost savings, the elementary school is back in the plan.
