On November 5th, voters approved two referendum questions from the School District of Cudahy. Community members approved a $10.4 million operating referendum with 59.6% of voters approving and a $12 million capital referendum with 62.9% of voters approving.
Superintendent Michelle Garven said she was grateful for the Cudahy community and thanked everyone who had supported the referendums.
The operating referendum allows the District to exceed the state-set revenue limits by $5.2 million each year for the next two years. These dollars will help the district avoid reductions in course offerings and services, and help to maintain district staff. The capital referendum will allow the District to borrow up to $12 million for building renovations. These renovations include safety and security upgrades for our schools and much needed infrastructure repairs.
“On behalf of the entire staff and School Board, we continue to be inspired by the commitment that the Cudahy residents show for our students and schools. We look forward to working with the community in creating our ten-year plan for the future. We appreciate this financial support in providing one of the building blocks for our continued success,” she said.
