What does a YES vote mean? What does a NO vote mean?
Increased costs for goods and services, inflation, and decades of inadequate per-pupil funding from the state have significantly impacted District operations. The district has operated off of roughly the same state imposed revenue limit for the past 10 years. As a result of not seeing an increase in the revenue limit, NOSD has cut costs annually to live within the allowable revenue budget.
If approved, funding would maintain:
Current programs & student services
High quality staff
Essential facilities maintenance

What does a YES vote mean? What does a NO vote mean?
If the referendum is rejected by the majority of voters the District and School Board will engage the community in the development of a reduction plan for staffing and student support services, course offerings, technology & equipment upgrades, extracurricular & athletic offerings, and facilities maintenance schedules and modifications to class sizes. And, the District would likely return to the community with a proposal for a future operating referendum.
