UNDATED (AP) — Many Wisconsin voters will see referenda to raise money for about 50 local school districts on Election Day ballots. Dan Rossmiller, the director of government relations at the Wisconsin School Boards Association, says school districts rely on referenda to get voter approval on projects that require borrowed money and to exceed state-imposed revenue limits on districts. More school districts have been asking taxpayers at the polls to help fund existing programs and services. A majority of the referenda on Tuesday’s ballots are for covering the operational expenses of current educational programs. Wisconsin Public Radio reports the amounts of money requested range from $150,000 for parking lot maintenance in Princeton to $127.5 million for building and technology upgrades in Racine.
