Duluth Schools to Hold Special Election on Tech Referendum

Duluth Public School Board Approves Technology Referendum for May Election

The Duluth Public School Board has unanimously approved the inclusion of a $5.2 million technology referendum on the ballot for the upcoming May election. The referendum, which failed by a narrow margin in November, aims to address the district’s pressing technology needs and improve security in schools. Superintendent John Magas emphasized the importance of this investment in preparing students for the workforce and ensuring their safety. The proposed investment plan, spread over a 10-year period, includes allocations for learning technology upgrades, cybersecurity, digital curriculum, and infrastructure maintenance.
