Referendum Information
For more than a year, the District has been working to develop a comprehensive long-range facility plan that ensures our classrooms and support areas meet the needs of our students and community, both today and for years to come. Background information for our facility planning process can be found here.
The District was committed to finding a solution that reflects the priorities of the taxpayers and meets the needs of our district. To do this, a Focus Group, comprised of staff, parents and community members was formed to identify needs and explore solutions. In October, all District residents had the opportunity to provide feedback through a community-wide survey. Results of the survey can be found here. All community feedback was instrumental in shaping the referendum plan that the Board of Education unanimously supported at their January 18, 2021 meeting.
As always, we want to ensure that all students reach their dreams while making a positive impact on the world. We are excited to share that on April 6, 2021 voters in our community will have the opportunity to vote on two referendum questions. Designed to address needs throughout our district and provide greater student opportunities, that will positively impact our schools and communities for future generations.
