  3. Educational Focus Mission Statement With the belief that every child has the right to learn and to develop to his/her own potential, the Edgewater School District is committed to providing students with programs of academic excellence, emotional/social development, good citizenship, and life-long skills (determination and curiosity, for example) as they master the new Common Core State Standards.

  4. State Changes Maintained • The Governor imposed a 2% cap on property tax increases which has been maintained. • School boards can use the health benefits waiver and the enrollment waiver to exceed cap, but still remain within the Governor’s guidelines. • The Governor allowed school boards to move the election/budget votes from April to November if budgets stay within the cap after appropriate waivers are applied. Since our budget is within the cap guidelines, voting for the budget is eliminated. • In November we will hold a vote for ONE open BOE seat.
