Ada school announce a public "hot spot" where the public can get online.
As it is important to access reliable, high-speed Internet, the hot spot is located in the school's south parking lot.

It was a very long wait for the Ada school levy results. After it was official, on May 12 the school levy passed by 14 votes.
The delay was caused by the March 17 primary called off the day before the election. The election deadline was then moved to April 28. And, those unofficial results gave the levy a 9-vote lead.
April 28 vote totals:
For the levy 425
Against the levy 416
However, the April 28 vote count did not include regular absentee ballots and provisional ballots. With those ballot now counted the election was not certified until this week.
