Three Delaware school districts will be asking voters this week to approve an increase in taxes.
The districts include Christina, Brandywine and Cape Henlopen.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that the Christina School district is asking for around $16 million after seeing three previous referendums fail.
That money will go to help the district fill gaps left by $9 million in budget cuts last year and to fund some new programs.
The News Journal reports that the Brandywine School district is asking the voters to fund $19 million in building projects and another $9 million for operating expenses among other things.
The paper says Cape Henlopen wants funding for to build to elementary schools as well as work on other structures
Local taxpayers are being asked to fund $48 million out of the total $154 million for the project.
