Abington School District voters approve $285M bond referendum

Dated: June 16 2025

Voters in Abington Township and the Borough of Rockledge approved a bond referendum in the May 20 election, authorizing Abington School District to spend $285 million to build a new middle school. A district-wide facilities assessment in 2021 identified the middle school as the building with the greatest needs. The current Abington Middle School was built in 1964. The assessment reported it lacks accessibility and has deteriorating flooring and roofs, and the gyms and performing arts spaces are too small. In January, the school board decided to build one middle school and authorized the bond referendum, allowing the community to have a say in the district’s future. The tax increase will be phased in over several years, according to school district officials. The district has a tax calculator available for residents to look up the specific impact it will have on them.
