Wisconsinites voted on 75 school referendums Tuesday, most races decided by small margins

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.
