Voters recently passed WC-1, providing money for new schools and repairs. Can’t this be used to balance the budget?
Although we are extremely thankful and pleased with the outcome of WC-1, this voter- approved ballot initiative is for capital projects only– the building of new schools and the revitalization of older schools. By law, these funds cannot be used to address the deficit in our operating funds. WC-1 funding can only be used for the costs associated with building and repairing schools.
WCSD has a legal and ethical obligation to use tax revenues in the manner approved by voters. You can find more information about the use of WC-1 funds at WCSDbuilding.com
