How will the referendum be conducted?
 
 The Board voted on September 9, 2013, to set a referendum date of May 20, 2014, to coincide with the primary election.

The Centre County Board of Elections is responsible for conducting the referendum. School districts are exempt from paying election expenses if the election falls on any of the normal election dates.
 
The referendum will be run under the same rules as November elections. A simple majority is needed to pass a bond or property tax ceiling referendum. All registered voters in the district are eligible to vote on the referendum question, including those who are registered as independent voters.
