Did you know? Kindergarten and 1st grade students who are chronically absent are much less likely to read at grade level with their peers by 3rd grade.

Kindergarten students who are chronically absent have a 61% chance of being held back for reading below grade level in 3rd grade.

Attendance matters! Letโ€™s continue to make strong attendance a top priority this school year and beyond. ๐ŸŒŸ

On Tuesday, April 7, residents of the MVR-III School District will vote on a general obligation bond issue not to exceed $43 million. This measure will appear on the ballot as Proposition S.

Bond issues require voter approval of at least 57.14%. When approved, we will use the funds to make improvements at every school, enhance safety and security, and ensure our students continue having the learning environment our community expects.

Prop S will not raise property tax rates. Any increases in the amount of taxes paid would likely be the result of higher property valuations, not from an approved bond issue.

You can learn more about the ways Prop S would invest in our schools and students at https://www.mvr3bond.org.
