District outlines community outreach and timeline ahead of Feb. 18 referendum
Summary
District administrators briefed the board on community meetings, absentee ballot availability, and website updates for a Feb. 18 referendum; trustees said outreach will continue to encourage voter turnout.
Scott (district administrator) told trustees the district is in active community outreach ahead of the Feb. 18 referendum and has held meetings in Land O' Lakes and Eagle River; he said absentee ballots may already be requested and emphasized informational opportunities.
Scott said the district posted presentation slides and a voiceover on the district website and planned additional community meetings (next listed at Eagle River Library at 2:00 p.m.) and coffee‑chat library visits. "We have our 3rd parent meeting... on Thursday night at 06:30 at Saint Germain," he said, and invited trustees and staff to attend outreach events.
Why it matters: the referendum is the district's primary local funding question on the ballot on Feb. 18; administrators emphasized sharing factual information and not directing voters. Scott encouraged residents to request absentee ballots if they cannot vote in person and said the district will continue in‑person and online outreach in the final weeks before the vote.
The board did not take any new action at the meeting beyond noting upcoming dates and outreach plans.
