How is Crandon governed and funded?

2026–27 budget information

An elected school board governs the district. Wisconsin state aid and local property taxes support public schools. The October 26 annual meeting agenda listed a proposed $8,805,808 total levy; the agenda alone does not establish its approval or certification.

Referendum

The April 10 board of canvassers minutes record passage of the April referendum by 1,026 to 998. The exact question and certified districtwide outcome should be confirmed against the election notice.

Student devices

The posted policy permits use before and after school and at lunch if it does not disrupt learning. Other use requires teacher or administrator approval; the posted confiscation language contains an ambiguity.

Artificial intelligence

The posted 2023 AI policy authorizes the district administrator to support AI use consistent with district policies and law. It does not by itself establish a current tool inventory or new purchases.

The October annual meeting agenda states proposed amounts, not verified final action. Current actual per-pupil spending and any individual property-tax effect were not established.
