Celebrating Youth Art Month with Talent and Creativity! 🌟🎨
We’re thrilled to congratulate two of our talented young artists, Abram and Killian!
Last month, their artwork was displayed at the Ashland Archer Auditorium at Ashland City Schools. Thanks to a generous local sponsor, their pieces will remain on display in a local business for a year before being returned to us for another year of inspiration!
Abram, a 3rd grader this year, crafted his piece "The Flag" last year as a 2nd grader. Killian, now in 4th grade, created his artwork "The Ukulele" while he was in 3rd grade.
And, a special shout out to art teacher, Mrs. Hinkle, for nurturing their creativity and helping them shine!
Based on feedback from the community, an income tax is being considered as a funding source for the Master Facilities Plan. An income tax reduces the taxpayer burden on property owners and those with incomes that come solely from Social Security or disability.

The proposed project is estimated at $69,204,575. Approximately 29% of this total, or $15.5 million, will be funded by the state. Additionally, the district will contribute $2.5 million from its Construction and Renovation Fund and secure $10 million through Certificate of Participation loans. These loans will leverage $970,000 in annual revenue generated from property tax reappraisals. Combined, the state and the district contribution will fund 41% of the overall costs. The remaining local share of $41 million will be financed through a combination of a 6.62 mill property tax and a 0.25% income tax levy.
