There will be another referendum in the Colonial School district.
This time it's June 4th.
Superintendent Dr. Dorothy Linn says the district will be asking for an increase of 35 cents per 100 of assessed property value.
Thirty cents will go to operations while 4 cents will go to technology and another penny for curriculum.
She said that the bottom line for operations was 32 cents just to maintain the status quo, so she expects some cuts including teachers and administrators.
The referendum follows a failed effort which asked for a 47 cent increase for $100 of assessed property value.
Superintendent Linn told radio station WDEL that this time the district will be doing more outreach to the community.
