April 1, 2025 - Operational Referendum

On January 13, 2025, the Board of Education for the School District of Belleville passed resolutions to place a referendum question on the April 1, 2025 ballot.  The referendum question is a 3-year, non-recurring referendum, to exceed the revenue limit by $2,850,000 per year for the 2025-2026 school year and the 2026-2027 school year, and by $3,100,000 for the 2027-2028 school year, for ongoing operational and maintenance expenses, including for educational programming, salaries, benefits, and safety and security.

Information regarding the referendum may be found on this page and the side bar.  If you have any questions regarding this page’s contents or if you have any requests for additional information to be added to the site, please submit your ideas in this form.

The School District will be presenting information on the referendum in a variety of settings over the next several weeks.  These include presenting at school events, to community groups, and with a variety of public and private organizations.  The schedule of events is posted below and will be updated frequently.  If you would like to have a referendum presentation scheduled for a group with whom you are associated, please contact District Administrator Jim Schmitt at schmittj@belleville.k12.wi.us or 608-835-6120, ext. 3440.
