Referendum
Referendum 2020
The Marinette School District needs to operate in a more efficient manner due to our annual
funding decreasing, while costs are increasing. Like other rural districts in our state, we're
dealing with ongoing budget challenges. Declining student enrollment is one of the major
challenges. Projections indicate this trend will slowly continue.
What do we propose? Check out the short video here: Video

Flu season is around the corner! |
Influenza (the flu) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are both contagious infections caused by viruses that spread through respiratory droplets. They can cause mild to severe illnesses and similar symptoms, including fever, cough, body aches and fatigue
While they share some similarities, the flu and COVID-19 are caused by different viruses. The flu can be caused by several types and strains of the influenza virus. Flu viruses can be detected year-round in the U.S., but illnesses tend to be more common during the fall and winter months.
According to the CDC, getting the flu vaccine each year is the best way to help protect against the flu. During the pandemic, getting the flu shot may be even more important. Receiving a flu vaccine can help preserve health care resources and protect vulnerable populations. For example, both the flu and COVID-19 can cause you to become sick enough that you need to see your healthcare provider or even be hospitalized. But getting the flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of flu-related doctor visits and hospitalizations, which can potentially free up valuable medical resources for other people.
Marinette County Public Health will be offering free flu vaccines to Marinette School District students the week of November 9th. Please watch your email for more information.
