ASCENSION SCHOOLS FUNDING EXTENSION INFORMATIOn
Vote Saturday, April 27, 2024
Early Voting April 13-April 20, 2024
The Ascension Parish School Board is asking voters to renew an existing 15.08 mills to fund designated construction projects and improvements across the district.
This proposal includes reconfiguring Lake Elementary to the optimal school model by dividing the K-8 campus into distinct primary and middle schools, while also updating other district classrooms, kitchens, athletic facilities, addressing security, and additional major improvements. The dedicated millage has supported capital improvements for 40 years.
By renewing the existing millage, voters will enable Ascension Public Schools to borrow $110 million for school improvements and construction projects at NO increased millage rates.
