Funding the Plan
A Community-Funded Plan for Abington Middle School
After a multi-year planning process, the District is proposing to build a new Middle School. This plan reflects the voices of our community. Teachers and staff, parents/guardians, students, and residents have provided valuable input and guided District decision-making throughout the process.
The District has worked carefully to ensure that the proposed $285 million bond referendum meets the needs of students and staff, reflects our community’s priorities, and provides long-term value for this taxpayer investment in our school.
On Tuesday, May 20, Abington Township and Borough of Rockledge residents will vote on a $285 million bond to build a new Middle School. If approved by a majority vote, the tax impact on a median homestead value of $387,402 would be $54 per month starting in 2026.

Why is a Referendum Needed?
Voter-approved funding is an essential way for Pennsylvania school districts to make significant investments in education, facilities and operations without hindering routine school operations and day-to-day student needs.
Through extensive community engagement, a majority of teachers and staff, parents/guardians, and residents who engaged with the District in this process said the community should have the opportunity to vote on a plan through a referendum.
By seeking a referendum, voters have a direct voice in decisions that impact public education and local tax rates.
Voters Will Decide
Our community helped shape this plan, and Abington Township and Borough of Rockledge voters will decide whether it moves forward when they cast their ballots on the referendum on Tuesday, May 20.
