Yes they had some baseball/sports lighting, drop in the bucket and was only going to be considered if everything else bid out as expected.

Look, East Union has temporary trailers out back, and it is going to be worse next year. They are short 4 classrooms now, and will be 6 next year. They were building 10.
West Union is short on both restrooms and classrooms.
Myrtle has K-3 graders walking across a parking lot between class, library, and cafeteria.
Ingolmar has a direct need today for classrooms and extra curricular multipurpose gym space.

That was 15 million of the dollars. They had some paving projects in there, $1,000,000+. And what was left was lighting, which wasn't much.
The lighting was going to be the last thing bid, considering construction cost fluctuate and could have taken all 18.5 by itself.
Sad. Sounds like someone did a poor job informing/convincing the voters and maybe consolidation is also needed.
