RACINE -- By just five votes, the Racine Unified School District (RUSD) referendum of up to $1 billion was approved on Election Day, April 7. After a petition and recount, the referendum was approved Friday, April 24 -- by a four-vote margin.
Plans include using more than half of the money over the next 30 years for construction and renovations, including the need for heating and air conditioning updates, security upgrades, and roofing replacement.
