Tonight, the RUSD Board of Education approved placing a referendum on the April 1 ballot. The proposed 5-year, $190 million non-recurring referendum would:
- Prevent cutting programs like the Academies of Racine and protect smaller class sizes
- Attract and retain excellent teachers and staff who are essential for delivering high-quality education
- Invest in the safety and security of our schools
This referendum is needed because for more than a decade state funding has fallen short, and more and more districts are forced to pass referendums to balance budgets. Want to know more? Visit www.rusd.org/referendum.
-----
Esta tarde la Mesa Directiva de Educación de RUSD aprobó incluir un referendo en la boleta de votación del 1 de abril. El referendo presentado es por 5 años y $190 millones, no recurrente, y serviría para:
- Prevenir el recorte de programas como las Academias de Racine y proteger el tamaño de los salones
- Atraer y retener maestros y personal de excelente calidad quienes son esenciales para dar una educación de alta calidad
- Invertir en la seguridad y protección de nuestras escuelas.
Este referendo se necesita porque por más de una década, el financiamiento estatal se ha quedado corto y más y más distritos se ven obligados a pasar un referendo para balancear sus presupuestos. ¿Quiere saber más? Viste www.rusd.org/referendum.
See you next year!

A combination of snow and wind will hit our area right in the heart of after-school bussing today, likely creating slick roads and reduced visibility. Our bus drivers will be cautious (as always) but please know students may be late arriving home.
