Stafford's 2030+ Vision
VATRE Passes
On November 7, 2023, voters in Stafford approved the 2023 VATRE (Voter Approval Tax Rate Election), the first for Stafford Municipal School District. As stated during our Town Hall meetings and on our website, Stafford plans to use the funds from the VATRE to provide raises, incentives, and stipends, hire unfilled staff positions, and restore several of our programs (i.e. CTE, Athletics, Fine Arts, STEM, etc.). Learn more about our next steps and what to expect in the coming months by viewing the following video.

Earlier this month, Principal Twyla Hynes of Stafford Early Childhood Center (SECC) received a notice detailing the exciting news that her campus had received the honor of being named a “2023 National Demonstration School” by the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE). This national distinction is awarded to an elite group of campuses in recognition of their achievements in instruction, diversity, as well as family and community involvement.
