Westfield Washington Schools (WWS) Communications Director Joshua Andrews recently sat down with Superintendent Dr. Paul Kaiser and Assistant Superintendent for Business Brian Tomamichel to have an in-depth conversation about the reasons behind the operating referendum, how lowering the district’s tax rate will impact the future of the school district and much more.

This coming Election Day, Nov. 8, you and other registered voters in Washington Township will have the opportunity to renew the operating referendum at a lower tax rate.

Funds will be used to retain current staff, keep teacher compensation competitive, avoid increasing class size, and add programming for agricultural science and performing arts.

In order to help the community clearly understand the facts, WWS will hold one more community meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at Westfield Intermediate School, 17710 Shamrock Blvd., Westfield.
