Will we need another referendum to pay for staff?

If the building referendum is approved, will the District need to pass a second referendum to pay for additional staff?

No, the District plans to pay for additional staff without any need for a second referendum. If the building referendum is approved, the District will move existing instructional staff into the new/newly renovated facilities. The District does anticipate the need to hire additional maintenance and food service staff if the referendum is approved, but the District can absorb these expenses without the need to pass a second referendum. The District plans to utilize evidence-based funding from the state (which increased significantly this year) and additional tax dollars generated by housing growth in the District to pay for any additional support staff.

Check out the diagram below to see the redistribution of existing staff and students in the event the referendum is approved.
