Those boundaries extend into parts of Clovis, Sunny- side, Fresno, Del Rey and other unincorporat- ed areas.
Of those voters, 11,187 (57.47 percent) voted to approve Mea- sure C, allowing the school district to issue up to $150 million in bonds — with bond revenue to be used for school facil- ity upgrades, college/ca- reer preparation and the

In the last general election of 2016, Sanger voters overwhelmingly passed Measure S, a public safety sales tax extension that increased sales taxes in the city to 8.975 percent with the additional .75 percent extension.
In that election, 76.22 percent of vot- ers approved the mea- sure, compared to just 23.78 percent who vot- ed against it. Just over 6,500 Sanger citizens voted in the 2016 elec- tion. That number grew to over 7,700 in the No- vember election.
Measure S is set to expire in the final quar- ter of 2028.
