FROM THE FRONT

Gtown: Meeting Monday
Earlier this year, the district hired a firm from Slinger
that developed a comprehensive community survey. At its
July 25 meeting. the Board received the results.
Germantown School District Superintendent Jeff
Holmes said Friday the resolution for the Boards
consideration sets the maximum amount that could be
borrowed.
The Board could also go backward from that number,
depending on what they decide to do, if anything,
Holmes said.
On Monday night, the Board will discuss a number of
options, from asking voters to approve the $93.2 million
for all of the above-mentioned projects to putting separate
questions to electors for the fieldhouse, pool and auditorium to deciding not to have a referendum at all, Holmes
said.
If the Board approves the resolution and moves ahead
with a referendum vote in November, it wont be alone. A
number of other school districts around the state are proposing similar referendums.
More than a dozen districts have filed reports with the
states Department of Public Instruction about referendums, including Kewaskum, the only other district in
Washington County going to referendum. The Kewaskum
School District is asking voters to approve $28.4 million
for site improvements and construction to modernize its
middle and high school buildings.
Tom McCarthy, spokesman for the DPI, said Thursday
the crop of proposed referenda appears about average for
a presidential election, which is expected to have a good
voter turnout.
Referenda to support new buildings, additions or
upgrades go in streaks, McCarthy said.
Sometimes well see a trend in referenda for the
upgrading of buildings because they have been built in
the same era and need work, he said.
While some referenda are for building improvements,
like those proposed by Germantown and Kewaskum, others are for voter approval to exceed revenue limits, either
for one time or reoccurring to support programming,
operational and maintenance costs.
Over the years, we have seen an increase in the number of operational referenda, and when they have been on
an April or a November ballot, they are successful
between 75 and 80 percent of the time. McCarthy said.
The success of referenda for new buildings or
upgrades to existing ones are difficult to predict because
they typically are more expensive and are really dependent on how well the needs have been explained to the
voters.
The Germantown Board of Education will meet at
7 p.m. Monday in the Gold Activity Center of Kennedy
Middle School, W160 N11836 Crusader Court,
Germantown.
