Energy Performance Contract Vote at Haldane 10/26/10

The Haldane School Board prepared an informative brochure which explains the details of the Energy Performance Contract. If you did not receive Horizons in the mail, you may look it up on the Haldane School website or click here. THREE important ideas to note:
1. The contract will not cost anything to taxpayers;
2. Voter approval qualifies the district for more state aid; and
3. Upgrades will save about 40–45% in district energy use.
Vote October 26, 2010, Room 105 from 7 am to 9 pm. 
If you are not registered to vote, you may register in person on October 19th from 4–8 pm in the main lobby of the Main Campus Building. If you work in the city, are homebound, or will be out of town on the day of the election, please consider applying for an absentee ballot. District residents who need to vote by absentee ballot may do so by:

• Picking up a ballot in person on October 25, 2010 by 5 pm; or
• Completing an application for an absentee ballot, available from District Office or by clicking here. A ballot will be then mailed to you. In either case, completed ballots are due in the District Office by October 26, 2010 no later than 5 pm.
