5 Items to Help Get Your Ready for Election Day

Today, voters will head to the polls to decide a ballot issue for Ferguson-Florissant.

It’s Election Day, and voters will have a difficult decision to face at the polls for the future of Ferguson-Florissant School District.

Today, voters will decide to approve or disapprove Proposition A, which would increase a tax levy by 75 cents per $100 assessed valuation to help the district’s general operating expenses, according to a district press release.

We’re helping you prepare with a rundown for Election Day.
