Gibraltar to host information session on referendum

You can get your questions answered on Monday about the upcoming $29.8 million referendum aimed at overhauling the facilities at Gibraltar Area Schools. Last month, the Gibraltar Area School Board approved the referendum question on the ballot that will pave the way for the district to demolish the 1930s and 1950s sections of the building. In its place, the district plans on building a new two-station gym, community space, and classrooms in addition to updates to the cafeteria and offices. Early estimates show that after the district’s mill rate stumbles from $3.42 in 2022 to $2.98 in 2023, it will go up to $3.25. Because of its high property values, Gibraltar Area School District has one of the lowest mill rates in the state. Gibraltar Superintendent Brett Strousland explained last month that over 30 ramps connecting different parts of the building, like other parts of the older sections, are not up to code.


The public information session will take place on Monday at 6 p.m. inside the IMC at the Gibraltar Secondary School. The IMC was the focus of the school district’s last referendum effort in November 2018. This referendum question will appear on the April 4th spring election ballot.
