Board asks community what a school referendum should include and how long it should run
Summary
Board members asked for input on whether to pursue a referendum, how much to request, and how long a referendum measure should run; the session was explicitly for input and no formal referendum decision was made.
Board president Katie Tewold asked attendees to weigh in on referendum parameters, saying the group should discuss: "how much should we potentially ask for? Should we even ask for going for a referendum? How long should that piece be?" She said the board needs to know what information the community would require to make an informed vote.
Tewold stressed these are questions for community discussion rather than board decisions tonight. The board did not identify specific dollar amounts, timelines or ballot language; those details remain to be developed if the community and board choose to pursue a referendum.
