The Deerfield School Referendum: What Homeowners Should Know
Next week, on March 17 2026, Deerfield residents will vote on an important school referendum affecting Deerfield Public Schools District 109.
The proposed measure would authorize funding to address school facility needs such as infrastructure improvements, safety enhancements, and accessibility upgrades. The plan was developed after several years of planning and community input.
Why This Deerfield Referendum Matters to Homeowners?
School quality and school funding are closely tied to property values.
Many buyers choose Deerfield because of the community’s strong school system. Investments in school facilities can help maintain that reputation. My children went to Walden and Shepard and received a great education!
What will the Referendum Fund?
According to the district, the proposal focuses on:
- Infrastructure upgrades
- Safety and security improvements
- Accessibility improvements
- Learning environment modernization
The referendum question will appear on the March 17 ballot.
