Cape Henlopen referendum set March 20

March 16, 2018

The Cape Henlopen School District will hold a referendum Tuesday, March 20, in order to build a new middle school and additions on the high school.

District residents 18 and older can vote from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Cape Henlopen High School, Mariner Middle School or Rehoboth Elementary School.
The district is asking residents to keep the debt service tax the same so that about $21 million can be used to build the new school and additions. The state has agreed to pay $34 million of the $55.5 million building total. Voters are also asked for a current operating expense increase in order to fund staff and maintenance for a new middle school. The increase is about $50 a year for the average homeowner.
