The purpose of this debt is to finance construction of a new Abington Middle School with associated site, field,
and parking improvements. The original Middle School was constructed in 1962, with a science wing added in
1996. As a result, the Middle School has required many renovations over the last 63 years and would require
substantial additional renovations and repairs to maintain.

This referendum, if approved, would allow the Abington School District to issue electoral debt in an amount
not to exceed $285,000,000 for a term to be determined by the School District for the purpose
of construction of a new Abington Middle School.

Selecting “Yes” means a vote FOR this referendum question and would allow the Abington School District to
issue electoral debt in the amount not to exceed $285,000,000 for a term to be determined by the
School District for the purpose of constructing a new Abington Middle School.

Selecting “No” means a vote AGAINST this referendum question and would not allow the Abington School
District to issue electoral debt for the purpose of constructing a new Abington Middle School unless voters
approve issuing electoral debt at a subsequent election called not less than 155 days after this first election.
