You could have up to two different referendum questions appearing on your ballot this fall if you live in the Southern Door School District. An operational referendum was already on tap after voters voted in favor of the district exceeding the revenue cap in 2020. For many Door County school districts, that has become a semiannual rite of the election season, with Sturgeon Bay taking their question to voters next week and Washington Island and Sevastopol possibly asking voters in the coming years. Gibraltar passed a recurring referendum in 2018. For Southern Door, passing a new operational referendum this fall would have no tax impact on its residents. The district is also looking at a second referendum which could include several capital projects. Superintendent Chris Peterson says they are still early on in the process regarding both possible referendum questions.

The referendum questions have to be approved by the Southern Door County School Board this summer to appear on the fall ballot.
