Wisconsinites voted on 75 school referendums Tuesday, most races decided by small margins [View all]

More than 60 percent of school districts looking for additional local support from taxpayers won approval of ballot measures this week.

But in an election that saw a landslide victory for the liberal-leaning candidate in the state Supreme Court race, many of the 75 school referendums on the ballot Tuesday were decided by close margins.

A referendum for the Butternut School District in Ashland and Price Counties passed by a single vote.

Residents had previously narrowly rejected referendums twice in the last two years. It forced the district to significantly cut staff and resources for students.
