PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Swallow School District has been Inspiring Excellence since the doors to the first schoolhouse opened in 1844. In response to the feedback received from the Community Survey, the School Board has approved a resolution for an $8.3M referendum that will appear on the general election ballot on November 6. The proposed referendum will result in a zero tax increase for district taxpayers due to the early retirement of debt. While the referendum plan is a reduced version of the surveyed plan, it includes the most vital improvements for teaching and learning and the most pressing maintenance needs while also being responsive to the community’s feedback to have no tax increase. The referendum plan still creates the educational spaces the staff, students, and community need to improve programmatic offerings and instructional experiences to build on the success past students have been achieving for generations.
