Welcome
Like most Wisconsin school districts, the Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD) is experiencing a budget crisis caused by external factors. Projected deficits will reach up to $6M for the 2024-2025 school year.
To combat the issue, the School Board has approved a referendum for the November 5 ballot that will generate $26.4 million over 4 years. The tax impact of the referendum would be $0.73 for every $1,000 of equalized property value. For a home with a fair market value of $400,000, the total tax impact over four years is estimated to be an increase of $948, after which it will return to current levels.
This budget crisis is the result of:
- A broken State of Wisconsin funding model
- Legally required government mandates lacking additional funding
- Rising costs of goods and services
An approved referendum would enable MTSD to:
- Preserve current levels of quality service
- Keep compensation of District employees competitive
- Manage healthcare costs
- Enable delayed maintenance projects
- Balance the budget and protect the Aaa bond rating
Please Vote Yes! and share the information here with family and friends!
