With Election Day behind them, school district officials at Southern Door and Sevastopol will now watch closely to see what will happen at the state level. Voters in Sevastopol School District voted 1,928 to 1,519 to allow the district to exceed their state-imposed revenue limit by $2 million each of the next four years. Southern Door School District voters approved a similar measure by a tally of 3,073 to 2,029. Both districts are coming off recent building referendum questions as well as measures addressing their operating costs. Sevastopol School District Superintendent Kyle Luedtke says the yes vote comes at an crucial time as state leaders begin to ponder the impact the pandemic may have on its next budget.

This was the first year Southern Door School District sought a multi-year referendum. Southern Door Superintendent Patti Vickman cites a community survey for giving them the insight for what would be supported.

Seven other school districts passed referendum questions Tuesday night, several of which also addressed their operational expenses.
