If a majority of voters approve the referendum on Tuesday, May 20, the investment in a new Middle School will be paid for by a property tax increase. We're committed to ensuring every district resident can estimate their individual tax impact by using a tax calculator. Visit https://www.oneasdonefuture.org/cost to access the calculator.
