The Waunakee Community School District budget committee reviewed the first draft of the 2026 budget on May 4, outlining compensation assumptions, program changes and staffing shifts.
Staff presented the draft with key planning assumptions: "we use the $0 increase per pupil for categorical and the $325 increase per student for the revenue limit formula," a 2.63% CPI increase for staff pay, and implementation of a compensation system that adds roughly 2% in costs. The packet also shows a 6.55 net increase in full-time-equivalent positions across the district and an updated debt-service plan tied to the most recent PTMA financial plan.
