REFERENDUM in PVSD - Artificial Turf. Real Potential |
The
Perkiomen Valley School District wants to make sure business owners in the area are aware of the
upcoming Nov. 7 referendum asking school district voters for permission to borrow money to build an artificial turf athletic field. If the referendum is approved by a majority of voters and if the Board approves the project, the potential for increased school district/community/business partnerships exist. We invite business owners to review the information we have posted on the school district website to learn more about this initiative, and if they are PVSD residents, we encourage them to get out and vote on Nov. 7! Questions? Please email [email protected] for information.
