@TAPinto Wayne recaps the “aging” conditions at four school buildings during a recent media tour and how the March 12 bond referendum proposes updates that would provide #StrengthForTheFuture.
The article states, “there is no doubt in anyone's mind that most of the Wayne schools are in need of modernization,” and that the bond referendum would “address these issues that seem to make teaching and learning in Wayne more difficult, or more inconvenient, than it could be.”

In the second episode of our Referendum Series, we will provide an overview of the tax impact of the referendum for the Wayne Township Public School District. Bill Moffitt, School Business Administrator, and Dr. Mark Toback, Superintendent, discuss the following points about the referendum in their conversation:
* The strategic timing of the proposal
* The cost to the average homeowner
* The difference between assessed and market value
* The impact of a referendum failure on the tax rate
Assessed value is different, and usually much less, than market value. Find the assessed value on your tax bill or via the link at https://www.wayneschoolscom/future/funding. Use the chart to estimate how much you would contribute annually to the proposed improvements
