An immediate change was seen Wednesday as a result of the passage of the levy - practices for boy's and girl's varsity basketball, and wrestling - sports programs that otherwise would not have happened this year.
  
After a special meeting at district headquarters, the board of education approved supplemental contracts for coaches.

Just like the levy - which was approved by 51 percent of voters, according to unofficial results - the mood in the district is split.

"This morning when I found out it passed, I decided I didn't have to move because I was going to move if it didn't pass," said parent Greg Herring.

Terry Jones campaigned against Issue 47.

"We wanted a community voice so with the passage of this levy I feel the community has forfeited its opportunity to have a voice in this district," Jones said.

Extracurricular activities and sports and busing will all be restored as a result of the levy passing.

But the district said to make sure the money last the next 4 years they still anticipate $15 million in cuts.
