If the override passes, staffing and educational programs will be preserved across the district. Class sizes will stay at manageable levels, supporting effective teaching and learning. Schools will continue to offer strong academic and extracurricular opportunities for all students. Additionally, the district will be able to meet its special education obligations and remain in legal compliance.

If the override fails, significant staff and program cuts will be unavoidable. Over 35 positions are projected to be eliminated, including 38 high school electives, and 97 staff have already received non-renewal notices. Class sizes, already large, would increase further, making it harder to meet student needs. Support services and extracurricular programs would be reduced or eliminated, impacting the overall quality of education.
