Racine Unified School District Passes 2025 Budget Referendum

Frederica Freyberg:
Last week, we shared a story about the Racine Unified School District going into a crucial operational referendum on Election Day. That $190 million question passed, along with 51 school funding referenda across the state. There were 38 that failed, 30 of those that passed were operational, preventing massive cuts to programs and staff in those districts. More than half that passed did so with razor thin margins.
