Proposition One
On April 8th, our community will have the opportunity to vote on two important ballot issues that will help ensure the safety, security, and success of our schools. Both questions are Zero Tax Levy Increase issues, meaning the tax levy today will be the same on April 8th, regardless of PropositionONE passing or failing.
