Statement Regarding Referendum
Tuesday night, the election results did not deliver the news we had hoped for as our referendum for a new middle school and renovations to our elementary schools to bring four-year-old kindergarten into our schools was rejected by our community. We appreciate the efforts of each and everyone who voted in yesterday's election and engaged with our district’s communications throughout this process.
In our many meetings with the community, we heard a lot of support for the project but that now might not be the right time. We will re-engage with our community to re-examine our district’s needs, to determine the next steps in meeting these needs, and to ensure that our district’s children have the very best learning opportunities and resources possible. Meanwhile, we ask all district stakeholders to stay engaged with our communications via mailers, the website, and social media to remain updated about student achievement, district finances, and facilities needs. We will continue to provide transparency throughout the process.
Thank you,
Dr. Joe Koch
Superintendent
