WHY NOW?
The district is bringing this referendum to a vote to address critical needs we are unable to meet within the current budget, after successful upgrades at our elementary schools and junior high. While the district has been proactive in managing costs - maximizing space, using bonds, and leveraging sales tax - the need at the high school for increased security, a larger cafeteria, updated HVAC, meeting spaces, and modern classrooms requires funding beyond what we have available.
