WAUSAU, Wis. (WXCO) – An operational referendum goes to voters on April 1st, 2025, needed to combat the cost of inflation in the Wausau School District.

The Wausau School District is going to a referendum on April 1st, hoping to fix the budget deficit. The district faces a $4 million deficit for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.

They’re asking voters to raise its revenue limit by $8 million each year for the next five school years. It would be used to…

  • Mitigate budget deficit
  • Maintain and enhance student programming
  • Attract and retain staff
  • Address ongoing maintenance needs, including roofing, HVAC/air conditioning, and upgrades to mass communication, cameras, and energy efficiency.

They say an approved referendum would have no expected impact on the property tax rate for district residents.

The Wausau School District will hold an information session on Tuesday March 11th at the Wausau East library, starting at 5:30 p.m.
