Is your local school district going to referendum this April?

If so, the Institute for Reforming Government has put together a school referenda transparency tool to help you make an informed decision when you head to the polls in 12 days.

You can use the searchable, sortable database to find out such information as:

• How much your school district is seeking from local taxpayers
• How many students your school district has lost over the past five years compared to how many staff members have been added
• How much your school district spent in one-time federal ESSER funds to cover ongoing budget expenses, including new hires and salary increases
