Summary
At the Mosinee School District annual meeting the board approved an advisory $11,775,006.85 tax levy recommendation, accepted the proposed budget for the year, and authorized district transportation and the school lunch program; final budget adoption awaits October certification of state aid and property valuation.
The Mosinee School District board voted on a set of routine but consequential fiscal items during its annual meeting.
Advisory tax levy: The board presented and approved, by voice vote, an advisory levy totaling $11,775,006.85 to operate and maintain district schools and to finance the recommended budget. The motion to adopt the advisory levy was made by Kaiser and seconded by Stankowski. Finance staff warned the levy is advisory and that the final levy and tax impacts depend on certified property valuations and state aid.
Budget adoption: After discussion the board moved to accept the proposed budget for the coming year. Motion by Nast, second by Bauer, the voice vote carried. District staff said the budget is presently balanced but final figures will be confirmed after October aid certification and enrollment data are available.
Transportation and lunches: The board approved a resolution authorizing district transportation for resident pupils and private‑school pupils within five miles beyond district boundaries (statutory citation read in the meeting). Motion by Dan Dahl (seconded in the transcript by the attendee identified as "Zebra") carried. The board also authorized the district to furnish school lunches and to cover any resulting deficit under the cited statute; that motion was made and seconded in the record and carried.
Board compensation: Members debated updates to board compensation and expense reimbursement language, including removing national conference language and adding lost‑wage reimbursement up to $200 per day for state conferences. A motion to adopt Diane Gorman's recommended language was made and seconded; the board recorded the motion in the meeting and proceeded to implement the change in the board record.
Other routine actions: The board set the 2026 annual meeting for Sept. 15, 2026 at Mosinee High School and adjourned.
Because many of these votes were carried by voice vote and recorded in the meeting as "Motion carries," the meeting minutes show approval but advise that final levy numbers and tax bill effects will be determined after state aid and valuation certification.
