Mill levy will fund maintenance, more

We are incredibly thankful and honored that voters chose to approve a mill levy measure that will keep our district strong and sustainable. The mill levy will allow PSD to:

Better fund maintenance and renovations to extend the useful life of buildings.
Add air-conditioning systems to schools that do not currently have A/C.
Improve staff pay to recruit and retain top talent.
Support our smaller neighborhood schools.
Invest in classroom curriculum materials, technology, instruments, and equipment.
Expand Career and Technical Education opportunities.
