(ABC 6 News) — Byron Public Schools is planning to propose a new referendum in November 2025, asking for voters to approve new funding for the district.

The referendum would provide $1.9 million annually in new revenue, according to a survey posted by the district. The funds would be used to maintain staffing, programs, and class size appropriate to enrollment.

This comes after BPS saw its referendum fail last November, which also would have provided $1.9 million.
