The Revenue Purpose Statement Special Election
will be held on December 9th. Only Lewis Central
residents are eligible to vote. The normal school board
election polling sites will be in place. You may also vote by
absentee ballot. You need to contact the Auditor's Office and
request to do so. Absentee ballots need to be returned no
later than December 5 in order to be counted. You may also
vote at the Courthouse (2nd floor) on December 8 from
8:00 am – 4:30 pm. You can find the fact sheet on the
website that provides pertinent information regarding this
issue. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me or any Lewis Central School Board Member.
The district's enrollment continues to increase. All school
districts in the state take a "certified enrollment count" on
October 1. Our certified enrollment increased by 24 students
from 2,559 a year ago to 2,583 this year. “Certified
enrollment” is resident students only. This year we have an
additional 508 open enrolled in students. We have an open
enrollment net gain of 391 students. Our total enrollment
increased by 85 students from 2,909 to 2,994.
