MMSD will be able to make repairs to their facilities, build modern schools, & continue to uplift its scholars & staff. We couldn't have done this without the support of our campaign co-chairs, steering committee, elected officials, community, & Superintendent Dr. Joe Gothard.

We're grateful to this community for voting in support of our public schools, students, & staff. Because of the investments you made toward our future & the growth of our community, MMSD will continue to be a district that meets the needs of all its students, teachers, & staff.

"The added money that the state is providing [...] will go to reduce property taxes. When we received the state aid announcement, that number was reduced to $40 per year, because tax payers are going to see a decrease of their taxes."
