March 7, 2017 Renewal Vote
PLEASE RENEW YOUR SUPPORT FOR HOOVER CITY SCHOOLS!



March 7 is an important day for Hoover City Schools!  Polls will be open for voters in the Jefferson County sections of Hoover to decide whether to renew three existing property taxes that have supported our students and schools here in Hoover for decades.
Renewing this existing financial support for the school system will help ensure that our schools remain strong for decades to come.  These existing revenue streams generate critical financial support for Hoover City Schools each year.  Among other benefits, this support helps keep our class sizes low, maintains safe and clean facilities and funds a wide-range of academic, athletic and extracurricular offerings.
To reiterate, this vote is about maintaining what we already have; NOT a vote for new taxes!
We hope you will renew your support for Hoover City Schools on March 7, 2017!
