By a vote of 64-4,
Muskego-Norway School District residents voted to spend $1.02M to purchase 57.1
acres on the east side of Muskego, adjacent to S7975 North Cape Road, for
future school purposes.
http://www.mymuskegonow.com/story/index.aspx?id=810820
Voters here overwhelmingly
rejected two school spending referendums Tuesday, according to results reported
early this morning. One referendum would have authorized borrowing $22.5M to
build a 400-pupil elementary school and to make technology and safety upgrades
to all existing schools. That vote failed by a 58% to 42% margin.
