Sheridan School District voters will decide in a special election on November 18 whether to extend the district’s current 36.0 millage rate for nine more years to fund several key facility projects—without increasing the tax rate. (The state mandates all districts have at least 25 mills; Sheridan has 11 additional mills set to expire in 2047 that would now be extended to 2056 if the proposal passes.) The district’s millage rate will remain at 36 mills regardless of the outcome of the election.

The extension would allow the district to use $11.5 million in state partnership funds to help build a new East End Elementary School, complete with a safe room shared with East End Middle School. Other proposed projects include a multi-use covered practice pavilion in Sheridan, safety and security upgrades across campuses (such as new cameras and signage), and districtwide renovations to bathrooms, flooring, and lighting.

We’re thrilled to announce that Homecoming Week at Sheridan High School will take place November 3–7, filled with school spirit, themed dress-up days, and plenty of Jacket pride!
