Board Of Education Decision

On August 8, 2022, the Board of Education approved an operational referendum question on the November 8th ballot.

This information also included the results from the 2022 Community Engagement Survey. Overall, the community was supportive of all three operational referendum options that were presented in the survey.

The BOE unanimously voted to put a $24.9 million, non-recurring, operational referendum question on the November 8th ballot.

Throughout September and October our district leaders and the BOE will be holding several community engagement sessions to continue to educate our community on how this operational referendum will help with increased costs in our day-to-day operations and continue to recruit and retain talented staff in our district. Scroll down to learn more.
