How Information Is Shared
The District does not sell your personal information. We may share information with third-party service providers who help us operate and host this website, and only as needed for them to perform those services.

Text Messaging (SMS) and Mobile Information
If you opt in to receive text messages from the District, we collect your name and mobile number solely to send the updates you signed up for.
