Dear Deer Park Voters,
On behalf of the Deer Park School District, we would like to thank our community for supporting the renewal Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy. While we are grateful the levy passed, the bond did not. We are inviting members of the Deer Park community to provide anonymous feedback on the bond. Please take a moment to answer a few short questions to help us determine the next steps and how we can best address the growth in Deer Park. Your input and voice matters.
