The project would renew a referendum voters approved in 2016 and increase taxes by a little over $3 a month for the typical homeowner to pay for programming at the Early Childhood Center and Adult Career Resource Center.

Brown County Schools said if the referendum doesn't pass, the district will have to make major cuts to academics, arts and athletics, plus freeze wages, cut teacher positions and increase class sizes.
