Please vote on the Artesia Public Schools Mill Levy question. Absentee in-person voting begins October 5, early voting begins October 16, and election day is November 2, 2021. This mill levy does not raise taxes. It continues taxes at the current rate. The current rate is $5 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. This is a continuation of the current tax rate that has been in effect for more than 35 years. The school district controls all mill levy dollars locally for the benefit of the district’s programs and students. Follow the links below for more information and the question as it will appear on the ballot.
The Artesia Public Schools and the Quarterback Club will be honoring the 1980, 2001, and 2010 State Football Championship teams on September 24 at the homecoming football game. The members of the championship teams will be receiving a commemorative coin before the game, and we will recognize them as a team at half-time.
