Granton board hears referendum canvass: 148 yes, 543 no; committee meeting set
Summary
After a failed referendum, District Administrator Nancy Popp reported canvass totals of 148 yes and 543 no and urged formation of a committee to develop next steps, including exploring a state trust fund loan and drafting a new question. The board set an initial meeting for April 27.
District Administrator Nancy Popp told the Granton Area School District board that the canvass results for the recent referendum showed 148 yes votes and 543 no votes and said "the community has spoken," signaling the need for a prompt planning effort.
Popp asked for volunteers from staff, students, parents and community members to join a committee to evaluate options. She outlined possible next steps including reopening communication channels with neighboring districts, exploring a state trust fund loan, preparing a revised referendum question and drafting a budget that reflects proposed cuts. Popp said the first meeting is planned for April 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the school library.
Board members and several community members raised ideas during public comment about committee membership and next steps. The board did not take formal action on a new financing plan at the meeting; multiple budget- and service-related items were tabled for further review next month as staff work through options.
