What is an Operational Referendum?
An Operational Referendum is a voter-approved increase in taxes, over the current revenue limit, the funds from which are earmarked to cover the costs of the ongoing, day-to-day operational expenses necessary to maintain the educational programs of the district. Such costs include but are not limited to: utilities, routine and preventative maintenance, curriculum and instruction, programs/clubs/organizations, academic/fine arts/athletics, low class sizes, equipment and supplies, services to support students’ needs, professional development, salaries and benefits, instructional interventions and enhancements, field trips, etc.
Why is an Operational Referendum Needed?
The district is anticipating considerable funding shortfalls over the next three years, as rising costs are exceeding the revenue from the State of Wisconsin. As state funding for public education fails to keep pace with expenses, schools will need to seek additional support from their community to sustain class sizes, programs, and facilities.
