Green Bay and Janesville seek voter approval for large school funding referendums

Green Bay and Janesville are seeking voter approval for large operating referendums concerning public school funding. Green Bay has the largest operating referendum at $158 million, while Janesville's is $98 million. These specific referendums are non-recurring.

The referendums ask voters to approve tax increases to support local public schools. Public school officials state that state-imposed revenue limits make it impossible for districts to fund day-to-day operations.
