During their library time, the 5th grade at Athens Elementary worked on their writing and speaking skills with PopTarts! The students had to figure out which type of PopTart they received and then describe it to the rest of the class. The class would then guess which flavor it was. It was a delicious time!

Voters in the School District of Athens did not approve either of the District’s two referendum questions. The first question asked voters for permission to exceed the District’s revenue limits by $900,000 for 2022-23 and by $1.67 million each subsequent year. The money would have been used to pay for general operating expenses in light of the District’s significant budget shortfalls. The second question asked for permission to borrow $5.525 million to use for deferred maintenance and facility improvements. The Board of Education will discuss the referendum outcomes at its next meeting.

All eligible district residents are encouraged to cast their vote today at the polls. Our District has two very important referendum questions on the ballot. Every vote counts!

Be a part of the decision. The School District of Athens has two referendum questions on the November 8 general election ballot. Your vote matters.

REFERENDUM UPDATE: If approved, the referendum tax impact decreases due to additional state aid. Why? On October 15, our District was informed of additional state aid that results in a reduction to the property tax mill rate. As a result, the tax impact of an approved referendum has decreased for area taxpayers. Learn more on our referendum website: https://www.athens1.org/page/referendum
