The Appleton Area School District Board of Education is meeting 07/14/2025 at 6PM.
They will be voting on a number of materials purchases for English Language Arts and Social Studies as well as a price increase for paid school lunches.
They will be reviewing a couple monitoring reports and setting the annual work plan for 2025-2026.
The item of most interest to the public will probably be the discussion on the structural deficit which is currently estimated to be around $12.5 million and could rise by the end of the next school year depending on the decisions the Board makes about the 2025-2026 budget. This discussion will also include talk about how much money to seek in a referendum and whether the District should attempt to make any cuts whatsoever. Right now it appears that 3/5th of the Board is in favor of making no cuts whatsoever and pursuing a referendum that seeks coverage for 100% of the structural deficit as well as normal operational increases. It appears that the AASD Leadership Team is aiming to go to referendum in April of 2026.
This discussion is a continuation of the discussions about the deficit that took place on 05/12/2025, 06/09/2025, and 06/23/2025.
