Two Washington School District Bond Issue questions were on the April 2, 2013 election ballot in St. Charles and Franklin Counties, which are in Missouri. The first was approved, while the second was defeated.

The first question authorized the Washington School District to increase its debt by $9 million through issuing general obligation bonds in that amount in order to fund certain improvements throughout the district and retire debt.

If approved, the second question would have authorized the Washington School District to increase its debt by $40 million through issuing general obligation bonds in that amount in order to fund certain improvements of school facilities, new construction projects and retire debt.

Both of these measures require a 4/7^ths (57.1%) majority approval rate to pass.
