Sturgeon Bay board gives preliminary approval to 2024–25 budget, adopts meeting calendar
Summary
The board gave preliminary approval to the district’s 2024–25 budget and adopted the 2024–25 board and school calendars; business manager Jake described year‑end projections and a projected ~19% health‑insurance rate increase affecting next year’s planning.
The Sturgeon Bay School District board gave preliminary approval June 19 to the 2024–25 fiscal year budget and approved the board and school calendars for the coming year.
Staff presented the preliminary budget and a narrative; the business manager, identified in the meeting as Jake, said year‑end projections show the district returning to a balanced position but that some post‑employment benefit catch‑up payments will likely be staged across July–November. Jake told the board he projected health‑insurance cost pressures and referenced a roughly 19% rate increase for next year in the packet narrative.
Board policy requires formal adoption of the budget and tax levy in October; tonight’s vote granted the preliminary approval that moves the process forward. The board also approved a 2024–25 meeting calendar that includes an earlier 6:00 p.m. start time for certain months and adjusted meeting dates in July and October to accommodate community scheduling.
Board members voiced general support for the projections and thanked staff for the budget work; no formal roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the transcript. Final budget adoption and levy setting will follow district policy and statutory timelines in October.
