On behalf of the Potosi School District, we would like to thank our community for its support of our recent Facility Project Referendum. Our community provided overwhelming support with an 84% approval rate, the highest supported referendum on record in the State of Wisconsin. This support means a lot to our School and for our student’s education. We especially appreciate our community’s input as we went about creating a plan to address the needs of our aging school building. We look forward to continued community input as our project moves forward.
