Does the ballot question for Milwaukee Public Schools’ $252 million referendum tell voters the money would come from property tax increases?

A Milwaukee Public Schools referendum question on the April 2 ballot doesn’t say the funding would come from property taxes. It asks:

“Shall the Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee and Washington Counties, Wisconsin be authorized to exceed the revenue limit specified in Section 121.91, Wisconsin Statutes, by $140 million for the 2024-2025 school year; by an additional $51 million for the 2025-2026 school year; by an additional $47 million for the 2026-2027 school year; and by an additional $14 million (for a total of $252 million) for the 2027-2028 school year and thereafter, for the recurring purposes of sustaining educational programming, including offering career and technical education programs, attracting and retaining certified educators, and further improving art, music, physical education and language programs?”

Other 2024 Wisconsin school referendum questions also don’t mention property taxes.

The Milwaukee schools website says it would raise property taxes $216 for each $100,000 of home value.
