On Tuesday, April 1, our community will vote on a three-year, non-recurring operational referendum question for the Salem School District. If it’s approved, the district will be able to raise its revenue limit by $2 million per year, through the 2027-28 school year. With these funds, the district would prioritize: ⭐ Maintaining class size ranges ⭐ Sustaining high-quality programming ⭐ Focusing on student success ⭐ Attracting and retaining high-quality educators ⭐ Ensuring long-term financial sustainability An approved renewal of the operational referendum is NOT projected to have a levy rate increase.
