How is Elk Mound governed and funded?

2026–27 preliminary budget

A seven-member elected board governs the district. Local property taxes and Wisconsin state aid support its schools. At the August hearing the district projected $16,163,433 in 2026–27 expenditures.

Annual meeting levy

The August 17 annual meeting carried a motion to set a $4,351,664 levy. The October board agenda listed a later levy action; its outcome and certified final levy were not verified.

Prior spending

Annual-meeting minutes report $15,757,469 of actual unaudited 2025–26 total expenditures, distinct from the next year’s projection.

School board election

The district’s October notice identifies two three-year seats for April 6, 2027. The February primary is conditional and candidates were not verified.

The projected expenditure is not actual spending. A school-tax levy does not determine any individual household bill; current actual per-pupil spending was not verified.
