BRODHEAD - There will be two public meetings at Brodhead High School to inform residents about an upcoming referendum.
If passed, the referendum will allow the district to exceed the property tax revenue limit until 2014.
According to the official primary ballot printed by the Green County Clerk's office, the district wants to exceed the revenue limit by $635,000 in the 2010-11 school year; $810,000 in the 2011-12 school year; $855,000 in the 2012-13 school year; and $1,285,000 for the 2013-14 school year.
Some of the money, according to the district superintendent's office, will be used to repair a roof at the high school. The rest of the money will be used to maintain current curriculum programs. The High School was built in 1996.
The first meeting is at 1 p.m. Tuesday, in the High School cafeteria, and the second is at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 3.
In 2004, Brodhead voters narrowly passed a $2.3 million referendum, 1,533 to 1,464.
The money was used to for repair and upkeep at the elementary and middle schools.
In 2002, district residents voted down a $5.9 million referendum.
Brodhead Superintendent Charles Deery was at a convention Friday and was not available for comment.
District residents will vote Feb. 16.
