La Crosse School Board urges voters ahead of Nov. 5 referendum, schedules follow-up
Summary
On Nov. 4 the La Crosse Board of Education held a final outreach discussion before the Nov. 5 referendum, urged community turnout, and scheduled a review of results at its next meeting. Board members thanked volunteers and confirmed that any referendum impact would affect next year’s levy, not the current budget.
The La Crosse Board of Education on Nov. 4 urged residents to vote in the referendum scheduled for the next day and agreed to review election results at its next regular meeting.
Dr. Engle, superintendent, told the board that "if the referendum passes, it will not affect this year's budget; the debt would be on next year's levy." Board members thanked volunteers and staff who worked on outreach, with one member saying the long campaign had been "a long road" and asking the community to participate.
The board scheduled an additional referendum update and outreach item for its next meeting to consider the outcome and plan any follow-up steps. No formal policy action or budget adjustment was taken at the Nov. 4 meeting; staff said any levy impact from the referendum would apply in the following fiscal year.
