There’s no substitute for blood. When a patient that is in need receives blood, it was given in advance by a generous donor just like you. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.

The Monticello School Board adopted resolutions to hold a referendum on April 5, 2022.
According to the school district and the hand out provided, the referendum would ask voter permission to exceed the revenue limit and provide funding for the 2022-2023 budget year and beyond. The revenue limit is a State law imposed on all Wisconsin school districts in 1993, and limits the amount of revenues a district receives to pay operating budget expenses.
