Proposition One
We're thrilled to announce that Proposition ONE has passed! On April 8th, our community came together to support two critical ballot issues aimed at enhancing the safety, security, and success of our schools. Thanks to your support, these Zero Tax Levy Increase measures will ensure that our tax levy remains unchanged, providing vital resources for our students and staff.
