Randolph operational levy referendum fails
The Randolph Schools operational levy referendum failed on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with 724 “no” votes to 674 “yes” votes. The school district was asking the community to approve a $450 per pupil increase in student funding through the operational levy, which would come to about $390,000 each year in additional revenue for a term of 10 years. An operational levy is for the day-to-day operations of a district for areas like employment, utilities, supplies, technology, extracurriculars, etc. It is not for building a new school, which would require a bond referendum.
