Special Presentation with folks from the MHASD district office Sarah Straka (Director of Curriculum), Brian Johnson (Student Services Administrator), Sara Errthun (Human Resources Coordinator).
Wisconsin budget surplus ~ $5 billion which is not being directed to schools via the state, hence operational referenda this November election day to vote for additional revenue. Monies for the school district will come via property taxes. Currently Mount Horeb has one of the lowest mill rates in the county.
Measures already have been made to tighten our belts by cutting costs in health care costs, energy contracts, and through grant applications.
Mount Horeb will still retain the lowest mill rate, downside: keeping and retaining the district attractive for employees.
