Gavin School Board weighs tax-limiting rate referendum and life-safety bond
Summary
The Gavin School Board discussed consultant options and community outreach plans for a potential tax-limiting rate referendum and a life-safety bond, with timing contingent on a county sales-tax vote in November.
At its July 22, 2026 meeting the Gavin School Board discussed options for a tax-limiting rate referendum and a life-safety bond and reviewed the scope and cost of potential communication and community engagement packages. Board members said additional survey data could help shape outreach strategies and that decisions on timing are likely to follow the countywide sales-tax vote in November.
Board members emphasized balancing fiscal responsibility with effective community outreach. President James Miller, III and Superintendent Dr. Scott Schwartz participated in the discussion; Mr. Miller opened the topic and Dr. Schwartz outlined how survey data and consultant services could be used to inform a referendum timeline. No formal motion or vote on a referendum or bond was taken at the meeting.
