What happened

Tomorrow River voters rejected a referendum that would have allowed the district to exceed the state revenue limit by $1.1 million annually for three years, starting in 2027–28. The official canvass recorded 1,603 votes against and 1,153 in favor.

Why it matters to families

The district will not receive the additional operating revenue authorized by this measure, affecting its funding outlook for the three school years covered by the proposal.

The evidence

The Board of Canvassers’ official tally for the November 3, 2026 referendum reports 1,153 YES votes and 1,603 NO votes. The ballot question sought $1.1 million per year for non-recurring purposes in 2027–28 through 2029–30.
