What is PPEL, and what does the upcoming renewal vote mean for our schools and community? 🗳️

In this video, Superintendent Deron Durflinger breaks down what voters need to know ahead of the Tuesday, September 8 election. Voters will consider whether to renew the district’s PPEL for another 10 years. Because this is a renewal at the same rate, approval would not increase the district’s property tax rate.

We encourage every eligible voter to get informed and participate in the September 8 election.
