Abington Middle School will open its doors on Thursday, April 3, from 6:30pm – 8:00pm for residents to learn more about the $285 million bond referendum to build a new Middle School.

Officials said residents will be invited to take a tour, ask questions, and explore information on the proposed plan, cost and tax impact, and voting information. District leaders will be available to answer questions.

In January, the Abington School District Board of School Directors voted unanimously to put a $285 million Abington Middle School investment plan on the ballot during the primary election. A presentation titled “Opinions of Abington Residents On Investments In Their Middle School” from January 14 included feedback from “500 adults who reflect the demographics of ASD”. 

Abington Township and Borough of Rockledge residents will vote on the referendum on Tuesday, May 20. If approved by voters, the referendum would provide funding for construction of the new school.
