As the May 5 election approaches, many in our community have questions about Amherst Schools’ finances and Issue 1, a 0.75% earned income tax levy on the ballot.
As a public school district, we are committed to providing clear, factual information so residents can make informed decisions. While we cannot advocate for or against the levy, we can share our current financial reality, the reductions already made, and what Issue 1 could mean for our schools.
We’ve created a special edition newsletter to answer the most common questions we’ve received from families, staff, and community members—covering where we are, how we got here, and what lies ahead.

Amherst has a proud tradition of strong schools and community support. Thank you for staying informed and engaged.
