Vote ‘yes’ for La Crosse schools


.
Why is the La Crosse School District asking voters to approve a referendum again? Because 10 schools are still being heated by inefficient boilers that have far exceeded their life expectancy. Four

were installed prior to World War II and originally burned coal.
The district was forced to spend $275,000 for repairs last year just to keep these ancient giants running (this figure does not include routine maintenance costs.) In addition, Trane has offered to donate

HVAC equipment currently valued at $600,000 to the school district if the referendum

passes.

The annual tax impact ($23 per $100,000 of property value) is less than what it costs the average family to go out for one fish fry dinner. Please make our children’s schools and education a priority Nov. 4, and vote “yes” on the school referendum question.
