A YES vote means
The one-mill school tax continues through June 2031, funding pay supplements of roughly $8,600 per teacher plus arts, athletics, and security.
A NO vote means
The one-mill tax ends after June 2027, property tax bills drop by that amount, and the district loses that funding for pay supplements and programs.
