November 9, 2022 - On behalf of the Board of Education and District administration, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to our families and community for supporting the November 8th referendum. The passage of this referendum will make a significant difference in our ability to provide safe and healthy schools, where students can learn, play and compete.
We are grateful for the strong support, with 69% voting yes for the referendum. It is our plan to begin immediately in obtaining bids and contracting with vendors in order to start many of the projects by late spring/summer.
Again, thank you for continuing to support students and staff.
