Janesville School District voters might see a building maintenance referendum on the ballot in November 2020.
At a Janesville School Board Finance Committee Wednesday, Superintendent Steve Pophal and Chief Financial Officer Dan McCrea presented a draft timeline for a November 2020 referendum to cover an unspecified amount of maintenance to district buildings.
The need for a referendum has not been discussed by the full board, but the topic has come up during discussions over maintenance issues and other school needs.
Unesco, a Madison-based management firm, outlined needs ranging from replacement of aging boilers to asbestos abatement.
Of the $120.43 million in projects, an estimated $77.84 million worth of items are in the “alert” or “alarm” categories.
The school district’s administration is interviewing consultants to help guide the process.
