What is the challenge?
The East Troy Community School District does not have enough predictable and stable funding to maintain quality educational opportunities for students, attract and retain quality staff in an ever competitive labor market, and simultaneously, adequately maintain its school facilities within the state-established revenue limits.
Also, an updated facilities study was completed and shared with the Board of Education at its August 2022 meeting. Several critical projects have been identified.
Like many districts in Wisconsin, there is a gap in operational funds to run the district’s day-to-day operations, plus there are many current long-range facilities needs that must be addressed.
Through a series of public workshops that occurred August through October 2022, the Board of Education considered the relevant facts. It is now evaluating its options to address the budget deficits, and large-scale, high priority maintenance projects. A community survey is another piece of information the Board will use to make its decision.
Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (linked under resources) for more information.
A paper survey was mailed to every district household in November. Final survey results will be reported at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, December 12, 2022.
