PEMBINE, Wis. — Voters in the Beecher-Dunbar-Pembine School District on Tuesday approved an operational referendum for the next five years, 634 yes to 472 no, according to preliminary results.

The referendum allows the school to exceed the district revenue limit by $800,000 for the next five years. The current $575,000 per year referendum ends June 30, so it would be an increase of $225,000, or 39 cents per $1,000 of property value.

A prior attempt, during the Nov. 5 general election, had failed with 689 yes to 745 no.

The unofficial vote total was posted Tuesday night by the Marinette County clerk’s office.
