Are you registered to vote?


A levy and a bond proposal to help hire more teachers and fund important school improvements in our school district will be on the ballot April 2, 2013. If you are not currently registered to vote in Springfield and want to vote in this election, you must register to vote by Wednesday, March 6.

You may register at our school office, any public or college library or the Greene County Clerk’s Office. Just bring with you some form of identification such as a driver’s license or Social Security card.

On the ballot will be Proposition Teachers for Kids and Proposition Classrooms for Kids. Approval of both propositions is necessary to address our needs.

If approved, Proposition Teachers for Kids would allow our school district to hire more teachers to keep pace with growing enrollment. Approval of Proposition Classrooms for Kids would support students and teachers with the classroom space, technology and facilities they need to succeed.
