Dear Catoosa Public Schools community,
Have you made your plan to get out and vote on Tuesday, February 14?
In just two weeks, Catoosa voters will have the chance to invest in our district’s youngest learners by voting on a $9 million bond package that will help complete the early childhood wing at our new elementary school. This is an exciting opportunity for our district to bring all of our elementary grades - from pre-K through to 5th - together onto one beautiful state-of-the-art campus!
Every vote makes a difference! Polls will be open from 7am until 7pm on Tuesday, February 14, and can find your polling place at okvoterportal.okelections.us.
In service,
Robert Schornick
Superintendent
