SUSSEX COUNTY- The Indian River School District is hosting three upcoming meetings to learn more about its next expense referendum.

District officials say the referendum will seek funding for increased operating costs and to maintain a competitive salary for staff.

At each meeting, district officials will give a presentation outlining the referendum initiative. The public is invited to attend and will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The meetings are scheduled for:

  • Wednesday, May 14 – Millsboro Middle School, 7:00 p.m.
  • Wednesday, May 21 – Lord Baltimore Elementary School, 7:00 p.m.
  • Wednesday, May 28 – Indian River High School, 7:00 p.m.

They say the meetings will also be streamed on the IRSD YouTube channel. Links to the broadcasts will be posted on the district website on the morning of each meeting. The public will have the opportunity to submit questions during the broadcasts.

The referendum is set for Thursday, June 5.

This will be Indian River's second referendum of 2025 after a vote in March failed.
