Budget
2023 - 24 Referendum Results
Thank you to the community for support all three bond questions. Not only did the district budget pass with strong support, but voters approved a $1 million renovation to the GHS science wing and the purchase of 2.3 acres of abutting land to the campus. The land purchase carries with it significant implications, as it's the first time in decades that the SAD has been able to acquire property. As Mark Twain once said, "Buy land, they don't make it anymore." This purchase is a bold and far-sighted move that will last for perpetuity. Thank you for your support!
