Wausaukee voters approve exceeding school revenue limits

Wausaukee School District voters have approved a referendum to exceed state revenue limits by $675,000 for 10 years.

The 1,234–674 vote may end efforts to dissolve the school district, after a previous referendum to exceed revenue limits failed.

The state School District Boundary Appeal Board will hold hearings in Wausaukee Tuesday from 1 to 4 p.m. and from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on a proposed order to dissolve the school district. Future hearings have been scheduled for Sept. 30 or Oct. 1, Nov. 11 or 12, and December and January if needed. The board will decide by Jan. 15.

The referendum passed in the Village of Wausaukee and the towns of Amberg, Wagner and Wausaukee. The referendum failed in the towns of Athelstane and Silver Cliff.
