Manitowoc Public School District (MPSD): The November 4, election has three MPSD-related recurring referendum questions. Why recurring? Using an analogy of a house: The items comprising the existing budget are contained in the house. Operations, safety/security, and technology expenses have created overcrowding conditions. A recurring referendum would bump up the ceiling on the house. The ceiling would remain at the new level. It doesn't go up over time. However, the tax levy could go down if the expenses fit within the capacity of the house in any year.
