With two school districts turning to referendums this fall, a presentation Wednesday in Sturgeon Bay will focus on how tax increment districts fit into the equation.
School boards in the Sturgeon Bay and Southern Door school districts recently approved referendum questions to be placed on the fall ballot. Southern Door will ask voters to exceed the revenue limit by $2.055 million per year for three years, while Sturgeon Bay will do the same by $3.75 million per year for five years.
Ahead of the presentation featuring Wisconsin Association of School Business Officials Executive Director Mike Barry, Sturgeon Bay School District Superintendent Dan Tjernagel hopes the session can provide more clarity about why some districts have to rely on referendum questions to fund parts of their operations.
Wednesday’s session will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Sturgeon Bay High School library. The referendum questions will be on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.
