We're halfway through summer, folks. HALF. That means it's time to take a break from pool floats and popsicles and start perusing sales for pocket folders and pencil cases. Find your school's supply list here: rusd.org/supplylists

Tonight, the RUSD Board of Education approved placing a referendum on the April 1 ballot. The proposed 5-year, $190 million non-recurring referendum would: - Prevent cutting programs like the Academies of Racine and protect smaller class sizes - Attract and retain excellent teachers and staff who are essential for delivering high-quality education - Invest in the safety and security of our schools This referendum is needed because for more than a decade state funding has fallen short, and more and more districts are forced to pass referendums to balance budgets. Want to know more? Visit www.rusd.org/referendum. ----- Esta tarde la Mesa Directiva de Educación de RUSD aprobó incluir un referendo en la boleta de votación del 1 de abril. El referendo presentado es por 5 años y $190 millones, no recurrente, y serviría para: - Prevenir el recorte de programas como las Academias de Racine y proteger el tamaño de los salones - Atraer y retener maestros y personal de excelente calidad quienes son esenciales para dar una educación de alta calidad - Invertir en la seguridad y protección de nuestras escuelas. Este referendo se necesita porque por más de una década, el financiamiento estatal se ha quedado corto y más y más distritos se ven obligados a pasar un referendo para balancear sus presupuestos. ¿Quiere saber más?
