Wisconsin Public Radio: Voters across Wisconsin approved nearly $770 million in additional funding for school districts in Tuesday’s election. Overall, three-quarters of district referendum questions passed, continuing a trend of strong voter support for increasing local property taxes to offset years of flat state support for public K-12 schools.
Districts asked voters for nearly $1.2 billion in additional funding and borrowing authority for new school construction, renovations and general operating costs. That’s the highest amount for an April election in the past five years.
