New Glarus School District wins referendum with ECRA Group (PLP), earning 59% approval

The New Glarus School District, a top-rated district in Wisconsin, faced the challenge of building community trust and transparency during a referendum process. To communicate the value of their tax investment and answer critical questions about district performance, they partnered with vendor ECRA Group to utilize their Data Briefs, specifically the State Percentile Analysis and Comparative District Analysis.

ECRA's solution transformed complex data into concise, visual reports that were used in numerous communications with the community, staff, and press. By presenting clear evidence of the district's impact and the effective use of tax dollars, ECRA Group helped New Glarus build a compelling narrative of value. This strategy resulted in a successful referendum outcome, achieving a 59% approval rate from voters.
