Proposition 11 election results - Alpine School District split

How Cities Voted on the Alpine School District Split

11/25/2024 / David Rodeback / 0 Comments

The Statement of Votes Cast (SOVC) for the 2024 general election, available from Utah County, shows the vote for every candidate and proposition in every precinct of Utah County, as well and the number of registered voters and the number of votes cast in each precinct, from which we calculate voter turnout.

I’m an election junkie and therefore, perhaps, a bit of a spreadsheet junkie, so I dug in primarily to see how the various cities voted on Propositions 11 and 14, to create new school districts from the northern and western cities in the Alpine School District, respectively.

To Split or Not to Split the Alpine School District: One Voter’s Thoughts on Prop 11 and Prop 14

Much is said for, against, and simply about the proposed split of the Alpine School District (ASD) via ballot Propositions 11 and 14. I won’t try to report or evaluate all of it here. I’ll do two things:

explain what’s on the ballot and how it will work, as clearly as I can, and
discuss several issues and arguments, and how, for me, they move the needle or don’t.

After a quick preview of questions (discussion follows later), a bit of editorial housekeeping, and two requests, we’ll get to the information part. If you read here only for information and want to leave before the opinion and analysis, you’ll know when.
