HAVEN, Kan. (AP) — Residents in three Kansas school districts approved bond issues for capital improvements in the districts. Voters in Haven on Tuesday approved a $12 million bond issue for athletic facilities including a gymnasium, baseball and softball fields and a new weight room/tornado shelter. In Haysville, voters approved a $59 million bond issue for 16 projects, including a new school, tornado shelters and secure entrances at all district schools. The proposed projects will be scheduled at different times but all major projects are expected to be completed by 2017. Also in Tuesday, voters in the Maize school district approved a $70.7 million bond issue for several projects including storm shelters and an early childhood center. But voters rejected a proposal to fund a swimming pool and natatorium complex. (A natatorium is a building that houses a swimming pool. Yes, there's a special word for that!)
