Voters in the Southern Door School District have extra incentive to head to the polls this spring election season.

The district is one of more than 70 across the state going to voters this spring for additional funding above levy limits. Of those, 62 are considered operational referendum questions, which are used to help maintain programming, resources, staffing and basic maintenance.

In Southern Door’s case, district officials are asking to exceed the revenue limit by $3,150,000 per year for three years before potentially returning to voters ahead of the 2029-30 school year.

Superintendent Kevin Krutzik said he has had dozens of conversations with concerned residents since the question was officially placed on the ballot in January.

As a relatively new administrator in the district, Krutzik said residents have taken away something positive from the discussions, whether it’s learning more about the state’s school funding formula or raising concerns about their tax bill.

Krutzik invites residents to contact him for additional conversations about the upcoming referendum and directs them to the district’s website for more information.

Early voting is available now through April 3, with Election Day on April 7.
