HOWARD, WI (WTAQ) â Voters in the Howard-Suamico school district will vote on two referendums this April.
The first question is whether or not to reduce annual funding going towards reducing class sizes and maintaining staff compensation from $5.85 million to $5 million. The second is for $98 million to go towards facility work.
âEvery building will be touched by this referendum,â Board member Jason Potts tells WTAQ. âOne great example is Forest Glen elementary school. It has a roof that needs to be replaced. That is a significant project.â
Potts says the referendum is evidence of the respect the district has for taxpayers. Superintendent Damian LaCroix says that was a major point of discussion within the district.
