The Oshkosh Area School District Construction Referendum or Question 3 was a school bond measure on the April 7 ballot in the Oshkosh Area School District which is in Winnebago County. The referendum was brought to the ballot by the school board, and it sought to exceed state-set revenue limits by $2,500,000 by 2014. The additional funds would be used to fund small scale additions and improvements to district facilities. Current estimates suggest that nearly $2.1 million would go to five schools in the district (West High, Perry Tipler Middle School and Read, Franklin and Webster Stanley Elementary) and the remaining $425,000 would be divided by other schools in the district.[1]
This measure is one of three going before the voters on April 7th in the Oshkosh Area School District. You can read about the others here: Oshkosh Maintenance Referendum and here: Oshkosh Elementary School Bond.
