BRYANT, AR – The City of Bryant says the results of Tuesday night’s extremely close millage vote have not changed after a recount late Wednesday afternoon.

The margin of victory was eight votes. The recount finished just minutes ago with the same results.

A proposed millage increase would go toward improving Bryant Schools to help compensate for a growing student population.

The Bryant School District planned to build a new elementary and middle school, add a cafeteria to the high school, and make security updates throughout the district.

The measure would have also funded a conversion of Bryant Middle School to a junior high, plus construction of an arena and performing arts facility.
