Leopold Referendum Not in Near Term

Cristina Daglas:

The Madison School Board flirted Monday night with the idea of holding another referendum to seek funding for a second school on the Leopold Elementary grounds, but then backed away from it for now.

The board's Long Range Planning Committee met with parents from Leopold at the school and heard their pleas for another referendum. Two of the three committee members - Juan Jose Lopez and Bill Keys - favored holding another referendum but ultimately moved to table the idea when it was clear that a majority of board members were not ready to go back to the voters so soon after the defeat of a similar referendum on May 24.
