What is an Operating Referendum?

An Operating Referendum is when the school district asks its voters to approve a tax to support the operating costs of educating the students in the school district. In 2015 voters in Perry Township approved a .4212 tax for the Operational Fund of the school district. The Operational Fund allows the district to fulfill the shortfalls in properly funding the schools to meet the needs of all of our students.
