Voters approved the Fieldcrest School District tax referendum by a comfortable 57% to 43% margin in Tuesday's election. The referendum approval will raise the educational tax rate from 2.975% to 3.625% and will generate an additional $609,000 to the school's budget each year.  The school plans to hire 2 elementary P.E. teachers, 1 elementary art teacher, 2 high school teachers, and reduce the activity fees by 50% for a total of $287,000.   The remaining $322,000 will be used to cover normal operating expenses and the school will be financially stable through 2009.
