“We are ecstatic that with the community’s support, we are able to provide a quality education and environment for our students,” shared Superintendent Lisamarie Spindler. “We made a conscious decision to stay significantly lower than the allowable tax levy, while maximizing the funds we have in order to sustain and grow programs without putting extra burden on the taxpayers.”
Voters also elected Robert J. Scheuermann and Virginia Moore-Stam to fill two Board of Education seats.
