Referendum in the Bay!
On September 23, Advocates for Education membership voted to endorse the school district’s decision to call a November 3 referendum for facility improvements at all the schools. Thanks go out to the more than seventy members who took the time to vote and to educate themselves on the issue. Written comments collected at the vote will be given to the school district for their information.
Be sure to visit the District website to see additional information about the Referendum, the Facilities Review Report, a recent survey of Whitefish Bay residents, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
