LACROSSE, Wis. – A $60 million referendum for school operations the next six years was approved overwhelmingly by voters. The vote was 12,200 to 6,700. The School Board said the new revenue would help maintain student mental health services, programs for learning and behavior, and learning technology. The funds also will update safety and security at aging buildings, improve building accessibility, and help keep small class sizes. Taxes will go up $29 a year per $100,000 of home value.
