The Janesville School District reported an $18.5 million budget gap for the coming year. Superintendent Mark Holzman attributed the gap partly to the state's frozen funding model, sustained cost inflation, and falling student enrollments. Voters are scheduled to decide on a $98-million operational referendum on November 3.
