An area school district is still looking to get a referendum passed.
The Sheboygan Falls School District recently put out a community survey gauging public support of a potential referendum on the November ballot later this year.
The results of that survey were then presented to the School Board in May, which has been trying to get a referendum passed since November 2024.
In 2024, the referendum totaled $99.8 million and included major upgrades to the high school and elementary school, which failed to secure enough votes.
Then, in the spring of 2025, a streamlined $70 million referendum also failed to receive enough votes.
Now, the proposed referendum would cost the district $65.7 million and add $22 per $100,000 of property tax value to the Sheboygan Falls residents’ tax mill rate.
The way this new proposal differs from those of the past would eliminating additions to the elementary and high schools, but rather sees the district renovation portions of each building in need of the most help.
In total, the district received 882 responses to the community survey, with 57% of respondents voicing their support for the referendum.
The Sheboygan Falls School Board will now review the community feedback and make a final decision on whether the referendum makes it on to the November 2026 ballot.
