Some may have received an "It's Okay To Still Vote No" mailing in their mailboxes recently with some misleading statements. If the referendum is affirmed it will not cost taxpayers MORE than the plan last time. The referendum plan is to increase technology spending but only for 7 years. After 7 years $0.41 per $1,000 away from the taxpayers and the total tax impact remaining would be around $0.44 per $1,000 for another 13 years (if all referendum questions are answered). This is about half of the previous plan presented to the community in November. The district heard the community about separating the referendum into different sections and has done that according some wants and needs. The district has also made some major cuts to the remodeling projects to alleviate some of the cost. Throughout the development of these plans, I believe, the school board and the community members, want Pulaski to remain a high achieving school system.
If you have questions, there are places to get informed. Visit https://sites.google.com/a/pulaskischools.org/pcsd-referendum/ for more information or attend the referendum social with district personnel on Wednesday, March 20 at 5 pm.
