12:33 PM: Voters shoot down all school referendums on Tuesday ballot
Wisconsin voters rejected every local school referendum on the ballot Tuesday, defeating nearly $36 million in additional spending.
Six school districts held a total of nine referendums Tuesday. Appleton, the largest district to request additional funding, had asked for $15.9 million in two referendums for school improvements. Voters defeated the proposals by a five-to-four margin.
Other rejected referendums included the Clinton Community School District ($9.6 million), Waupun (three referendums totaling $4.9 million), Salem ($3.5 million), Siren ($1.3 million) and Highland ($405,000).
