Marinette voters narrowly approve $68 million school facilities referendum

MARINETTE — In a dramatic, razor-thin decision on Tuesday, voters in the Marinette School District approved a major $68 million capital facilities referendum. The measure passed by an incredibly slim margin of just 40 votes, with 2,703 votes in favor and 2,663 votes against, or 50.4% to 49.6%. Marinette School District officials were asking voters to approve up to $68 million in general obligation bonds for improvements at the middle and high schools, citing aging infrastructure and learning spaces that have become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain. District officials said needs identified in a previous $48 million failed referendum effort had not gone away, while inflation and additional needs had raised costs. At the middle school, plans target wings built in 1921 and 1961 and includes additions and renovations for career and technical education, art, music, student services and shared spaces. Work will modernize cramped, disconnected classrooms and workshops, improve supervision and collaboration, replace aging piping, electrical and ventilation systems and upgrade heating and cooling with air conditioning. The proposal also includes playground equipment and accessibility changes. At the high school, renovations would update wood, metal and automotive shops, music areas, science labs, locker rooms, restrooms and the auditorium.

Winneconne School Board Clerk submits responses to recall complaint

WINNECONNE, Wis–Winneconne School Board Clerk Kari Flagg defends her decision to invalidate recall petitions against two fellow board members. In filings with the state Elections Commission, Flagg claims that the forms filed by organizers of the recalls against board President Kati Calewarts and Vice President Dean Ackmann were not filled out completely, and therefore a signature-gathering period never legally started.

After school referendum fails, Pulaski says it's looking to the future

The Pulaski School District residents voted down a nearly $60 million capital referendum on Nov. 3, upsetting the district's plans for additions and renovations that included two new pools. Now, the district says, it'll use that community decision to guide its plans moving forward. "This decision by the PCSD community gives the district greater direction in its always-ongoing facilities planning process," district communications director Eric Schreiber said in a statement. "Creating and maintaining functional facilities that meet the needs of our students and community remains a top priority. At the proper time, projects may be reevaluated or reconfigured to better fall in line with our community’s priorities and serve our students." The statement thanked those who voted and took time to consider the referendum. At this point, the district has not responded to follow-up questions about whether it will pursue a referendum in April or whether it plans to close the pool. Why did Pulaski's referendum fail? The referendum vote came after the village of Pulaski completed a $15 million water infrastructure project that more than doubled an average resident's water bill, from $151 to nealry $352 per quarter. Several residents who opposed the water bill increase linked the higher
