    School District of Washburn Voters Approve Referendum Question

    Area residents vote to support building updates to the Middle/High School

    Washburn, WI—On November 5, voters in the School District of Washburn voted to support a

    $14.43 million capital referendum, aimed to maintain and upgrade building systems and to

    enhance accessibility and security at the Middle/High School building. These building

    improvements will not only meet immediate capital needs but also contribute to a healthier, more

    sustainable environment for our students and staff.

    Preliminary results indicated 67% of voters did support the facilities referendum question, while

    33% were not in favor.

    The School District of Washburn extends its overwhelming gratitude to all community members

    who participated in the recent referendum and ultimately supported critical capital maintenance

    and security needs of the school. We greatly respect the community’s unwavering support of the

    School District of Washburn and their dedication to lifting up our students.

    The essential needs outlined in the referendum, upgrading critical building systems and

    improving security and accessibility, will impact all students and staff within the Middle/High

    school building and for future Castle Guards.

    Next, the design phase will begin, continuing for approximately nine months and involving

    ongoing conversations with staff, student groups and community members to ensure the project

    goals are aligned. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026, with a thoughtful phasing

    plan allowing the district to minimize classroom disruption, maintain educational focus, and

    elevate the needs of students and staff.
