History

edit

In August 2019 54% of the voters rejected a tax levy meant to improve the school facility.[3] In October 2019 the district made an attempt at passing a tax levy.[2] 54% of the voters rejected this in November of that year.[3]

In 2021 a vote to increase the tax levy failed on a 189-188 basis, which meant it failed by a single vote.[4] A recount was scheduled for April 9.[5]
