May 18, 2025 - 04:39
In April 2020, the Racine Unified School District celebrated a significant achievement when a 30-year, $1 billion capital referendum passed by a mere five votes. This narrow margin underscored the community's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and resources. Since the referendum's approval, district officials have been diligently working on plans to implement a series of upgrades across various schools.
The funds from the referendum are earmarked for essential improvements, including modernizing classrooms, upgrading technology, and enhancing safety measures within school buildings. These upgrades aim to create a more conducive learning environment for students and staff alike.
As the district moves forward with these projects, community engagement remains a priority. Officials are committed to keeping parents and residents informed about the progress and ensuring that the upgrades align with the needs of the schools. The successful passage of the referendum reflects the community's investment in the future of education in Racine, and the district is eager to fulfill its promise to enhance the learning experience for all students.
