Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Cashton governed and funded?
A five-member elected board governs the district. Local property taxes and state school aid support its schools. The board placed an operating referendum on the November 2026 ballot; a certified district-wide result was not retrieved.
Proposed levy
The proposed 2026–27 levy is $2,586,271, up $30,148 (about 1.18%) from the prior year in the publication. Individual property bills can differ.
Operating referendum
The August 14 resolution sought $450,000 per year for three years beginning in 2027–28. The reviewed records do not establish the certified result.
Meal account policy
The current posted policy describes possible meal-program access denial after a family balance exceeds $25 negative for two consecutive months and notice with a five-school-day delay, with exceptions for free-meal benefits and a student paying for that day’s meal. No actual denial was established.
The proposed budget contains an unresolved $254 difference between its debt-levy and debt-source figures. Actual per-pupil spending and final adopted figures were not verified.
