The Salem School District annual meeting is tonight at 7 p.m. at the school.
The annual meeting is unique for Wisconsin school districts. At these meetings, residents hear a presentation on the school’s budget for the school year and then get a chance to vote on the tax levy, the portion of the district’s revenue that will come from property taxes.
Salem’s property tax levy is proposed to go up about 9 percent this year, despite the district trimming over $600,000 from last year’s expense budget. That’s chiefly because the district is also seeing a drop in state aid of over $400,000.
The annual meeting will be held in the school’s large group instruction room.
