Milton School District Secures Narrow Approval for $5 Million Annual Operations Referendum.

Voters in the Milton School District have approved a $5-million recurring operational referendum, giving the district a significant funding increase to support its schools. The measure, which passed by a margin of just over 200 votes out of more than 13,000 cast, will provide an additional $5 million annually for school operating expenses, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.

The referendum replaces an expiring $2.5 million non-recurring measure and, as a "recurring" referendum, has no expiration date. This additional funding is earmarked for essential costs such as educational programs and staffing, addressing financial challenges in a district that has seen growing enrollment but has still faced nearly two dozen teacher layoffs in recent years.

This narrow approval signals strong community support for continued investment in local education and stability for Milton’s schools amidst rising operational costs.
