(KNZA)--A recreation commission will not be established in the Perry Lecompton school district.

According to unofficial results from the Jefferson County Clerk's Office, voters in USD 343 Tuesday voted down the special question by a vote of 273 in favor to 453 against.

The recreation commission would have been funded by a one mill tax levy.

Funding would have been used for activities like youth sports, after-school programs, and events for senior citizens.

The Perry Lecompton School District includes parts of Jefferson and Douglas counties.
