Jefferson school board approves operational referendum question for November ballot

The School District of Jefferson Board of Education voted Monday to place an operational referendum question on the ballot for Tuesday, Nov. 5, according to information released by the district Wednesday.

Within its release, school district officials noted that, should the district’s voters approve the operational referendum, the district will be able to exceed its state-imposed revenue limit by $1.4 million per year over the next four years.

The referendum would then expire unless voters approved a new referendum, the release stated.

Within the release, officials explained the distinction between a capital referendum, citing one approved by voters in 2022, which allocated funds for building projects, and an operational referendum, like the one proposed for ballot placement in November.
