The number of Wisconsin school referendums this year is up - way up. Here's why.
While the presidential election season is gearing up, voters in more than 100 school districts statewide will have other issues to weigh in on when they go to the polls in November: school referendums.
A lot of school referendums.
Together with referendums that were held earlier this year, the number of school referendums in 2024 will be almost three times the number held in 2023.
Under state law, school districts had until late August to decide to put referendums on the November ballot. This year, 120 districts chose to do so, with 136 total referendums, according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Some districts have more than one referendum on the ballot this year
