Board OKs resolution to hold referendum seeking $1.1M annual revenue-cap increase for three years
Summary
The Tomorrow River School District board voted to put a referendum on the ballot asking voters to allow the district to exceed its state revenue limit by $1.1 million per year for three years for nonrecurring purposes; outreach and informational materials were discussed.
The board of the Tomorrow River School District voted to adopt a resolution calling a referendum on whether the district may exceed the state revenue limit by $1.1 million per year for three years for nonrecurring purposes. The board discussed outreach plans and provided members a chance to review the resolution before the vote.
The measure was presented during the meeting as "authorizing the school district budget to exceed revenue limit by 1.1 million per year for three years for nonreoccurring purposes," and the Chair announced the motion carried after a recorded opposed vote. District leaders said they are preparing community materials — open houses, a Nexus-run FAQ page and flyers — and will share outreach pages with board members for review before they go live.
Board members and staff emphasized public engagement in the weeks ahead: the administrator said the district will host open houses, set up informational tables at fall athletic events, and hold coffee talks with businesses to explain the proposal and collect frequently asked questions. The board did not outline a specific election date in open session during the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript. The district will publish formal voting dates and additional documentation as part of its official referendum outreach.
