Ballots Mailed for April 23 Special Election
Election Day is less than one week away for the April 2024 Special Election. A replacement for our expiring Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy is on the ballot. If the measure does not pass, there will be a shortfall of at least $15 million for next school year’s budget. This would mean significant cuts to student programs, staff positions, extracurricular activities and more. Learn more about the Replacement Levy at www.tahomasd.us/levy.

Amy helps youth navigate social media, prioritize mental wellbeing and understand the dangers of fentanyl. Community partners and resources will be available after the presentation. RSVP Here.
