Plans to overhaul parts of Kewaunee School District's facilities will progress after Tuesday's slim passage of its $24.5 million referendum. Residents voted 1478-1461 to approve the capital referendum to repair aging infrastructure, enhance educational spaces, and maximize existing space in the district. Superintendent Scott Fritz says he appreciates the support residents gave the referendum and understands the concerns that others may still have. A change in its transportation situation moving forward changed the district's original plans, with Fritz adding that they made some tough decisions to cut some aspects out and still lower the impact on its taxpayers.

The Kewaunee School District was not the only narrow margin seen on Kewaunee County ballots on Tuesday. Dawn Kidd bested Jake Maring by 10 votes to become the District 4 Alderperson in Algoma. You can find the full election results for Kewaunee County here.
