Home 9 Early Care and Education 9 Voters Approve Nearly Three-fourths of School Referenda

Considering that conservative Wisconsin voters seemed to have more reason to go to the polls yesterday than liberals, I figured that school referenda were more likely to be defeated. Thus, I was surprised to learn that nearly three-quarters of school referenda on the ballot won approval yesterday, when voters okayed more than $140 million in new investment in local schools.

Tamarine Cornelius’ post today on the Wisconsin Budget Project Blog provides a brief overview of the results and contains links to additional information about yesterday’s school referenda.
