Board Moves Forward with April 1 Referendum

At the Board of Education, January 13, 2025 meeting, members took action to have an Operational Referendum put on the April 1, 2025 ballot. The Board is asking the community to support a $5 million NON-Recurring levy override for six years starting with the 2025-2026 school year.

The Board of Education deliberated on whether to go to referendum, should they ask for a recurring or non-recurring referendum, and if they they chose a non-recurring referendum, how long should the levy override extend.

Feedback from the recent Community Conversation on Budget Challenges, showed that 83.9% of the respondents thought the Board should pursue an Operation Referendum in April.

In November, the community voted down an Operational Referendum for a $5 million recurring levy override. A recurring referendum has no cut-off point. Some community members were uncomfortable with extending the $5 million forever versus a non-recurring referendum with a specific end date.

Why is the School District asking for an Operational Referendum?

Community Conversation Budget Challenges

The Board of Education has begun conversations on how they can best ensure our students continue to have, and our staff is able to provide, a quality learning experience.  On January 7, 2025, the Hudson School District is asking the community to give their feedback on potential budget cuts, including the impact of closing one or two elementary schools, and the community’s support for an operational referendum that would allow the School District to exceed the revenue cap.
