Spooner School Board adopts 2026-27 budget

SPOONER — The Spooner School Board adopted the 2026-27 tax levy at their annual meeting Monday, Oct. 26. Finance Director Trish Vasquez and Supt. Dr. Marggie Banker gave the budget presentation. The district total levy for 2026-27 is $19,820,673. Vasquez said they are looking at a deficit of $1.4 million for the fiscal year, which is “less than we had anticipated.” Banker said what influences the budget primarily is aid, federal funds and other resources such as grants. The district hasn’t had to do short-term borrowing. The enrollment trend continues to decline across the state. Banker said this year, they have just over 1,100 students enrolled. “We’ve been working to address (these challenges),” she said. Fewer students open enrolled out this year than the past, she added. Vasquez said that in the Heart O’ North Conference, Spooner Area School District’s mill rate is significantly below Barron and above St. Croix Falls, close to the state average, at $6.17. “That’s a point of pride,” she said. Not every school district’s levies are finalized yet. General aid is down 15% and “we do plan for it,” Vasquez said. Per-pupil aid is at $745 per student. Board member John Hedlund thanked the team

Winter school referendum approved, Town of Hayward proposal rejected

Winter School District voters on Tuesday Nov. 3 passed an operational funding referendum by a vote of 1,174 ‘Yes’ to 546 ‘No.’ The school, with a current enrollment of approximately 220 students, is facing an $890,000 deficit to balance the budget, driven by declining enrollment and flat state funding. The school district has taken from their fund balance, but that will be depleted by next year. The Nov. 3 referendum asked voters to approve an additional $1.5 million for each of the next four years beginning in 2026-27. Funds would be used for costs associated with school safety, sustaining or updating curriculum and programs, deferred facility maintenance and staffing. According to an information booklet published by the school, “We cannot continue to provide essential programs and curriculum, continue with deferred maintenance projects, hire, develop, and retain quality staff members within the District’s allowable revenue limit.” Town of Hayward Town of Hayward voters rejected a facilities referendum proposal asking if the town should borrow up to $9 million to renovate the existing town hall and build a new fire station and highway department facility, with a vote of 1,067 ‘No’ to 657 ‘Yes.’ Sawyer County Other Sawyer County vote totals from
