2026 School Referenda Tool

DO YOU NEED INFO ABOUT YOUR

SCHOOL DISTRICT’S REFERENDUM?

Find out the facts here.

IRG is here to help you learn about your school’s referendum.

This searchable, sortable tool allows you to find key information about school referenda. The tool allows users to review:

  • How much is your district asking?
  • How many staff has your district added versus student enrollment, 2020 to 2026?

The tool uses publicly available state data.

That is what you need to know! See a complete analysis of pandemic-time funding and staffing here.
