9:45 AM: $33.9 million in school referendums on February ballot
The first test for prospective DPI superintendent candidates will be the Feb. 17 primary election, which will coincide with a handful of school referendums.
Four school districts will hold a total of seven referendums, with voters deciding on $33.9 million in additional school spending.
Appleton, the largest district to hold a referendum in the spring primary, will also be voting on the biggest chunk of money, asking for $15.9 million in two referendums for school improvements.
In addition, the Clinton Community School District is seeking $9.6 million, the Waupun School District will hold three referendums totaling $4.9 million, and the Salem School District is asking for $3.5 million.
