Mesa Unified School District No. 4 had two measures — the sale of $500 million in bonds and a 15% override continuation — for voters to consider at the ballot-by-mail Nov. 7 election.

In unofficial initial returns, the bond question is losing 29,525-28,468; and the override continuation is passing 28,614-28,451.

Results will continue to come in over the next several days. No results are final until the district governing board canvasses them.
