Referendum

ALLThe greater Manitowoc area is truly a wonderful place to raise a family and MPSD adds so many great opportunities for our youth to learn, grow, and thrive. MPSD has a rich tradition of providing expansive academic, arts, and athletic opportunities. We support not only students' academic achievement and college, career and life readiness, but also their social-emotional learning and wellness.
On April 4th, 2023 MPSD residents will vote on a five-year, non-recurring operating referendum seeking to exceed the state's revenue limits to maintain our academic and extracurricular programs, fund capital projects and technology needs, and retain quality staff.
If approved, the referendum would help ALL schools and ALL students through 2027-28.


WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER OPERATING REFERENDUM?

Like many school districts, MPSD is being tightly squeezed by:

  • State funding freeze
  • Inflation
  • Loss of federal emergency funds
  • Competition for staff and students
  • State/Federal mandates
  • Low funded/low tax school district
  • Inequitable funding formula
