Board of Education election (two available seats)

• Matthew Sullivan – 1,226 votes
• Gary Adams – 590 votes

Mrs. Bohrer and Mr. Sullivan are re-elected to 3-year terms starting July 1, 2025.

Proposition #1 is a Maintenance Capital Project ($1.62 million) for a new roof, HVAC unit (heating, ventilation & air conditioning) and boiler at Briarwood School. Proposition #2 authorizes the district to open a new $20 million capital reserve to be used over a 10-year period. Capital reserves must be approved by the community and have specific parameters on amount and duration. It can be thought of as a savings account to help us complete future improvements without impacting the tax levy.
