Wrightstown reports $10.2M state aid estimate, calendar migration and shift to ParentSquare for communications
Summary
District administrators told the board the July 1 state aid estimate is about $10.2 million (a 3.21% increase), audit scheduling is underway, the facility calendar was migrated after a vendor buyout deleted previous data, and the district will expand use of ParentSquare for school communications.
District administrators reported several operational updates at the Wrightstown Community School District Board meeting, including a higher‑than‑expected state aid estimate and changes to the district’s calendar and communications systems.
A district administrator said the July 1 state aid estimate from the Department of Public Instruction is "just over $10,200,000," roughly a 3.21% increase over last year and about $240,000 more than the district had projected. The administrator cautioned that an increase in state aid does not automatically translate into sustained revenue, noting the split between state funds and local taxpayers.
Staff also said the district is closing its fiscal year and that the annual audit is scheduled before the week of Aug. 3. Separately, the district’s facility calendar vendor was acquired and earlier calendar content was deleted; administrators said a new calendar is posted on the district website but they are still resolving glitches.
Administrators told the board the district will expand use of ParentSquare for school and coach communications to comply with state guidance referenced in the meeting as Act 89. Staff said coaches and activity leaders will be trained to use school‑sponsored, monitored channels and that completing registration in Skyward helps populate ParentSquare groups used by coaches.
The meeting also highlighted community and student successes: staff reported the Neon Run drew more than 125 participants and recognized three students—Zach Wenlet, Noah Mosca and Asher Vanderwole—as 2026 academic all‑state for meeting GPA and participation criteria. Administrators said the district will participate in the Wisconsin Financial Literacy Innovation Grant through CESA 7, which offers curriculum resources and student activities.
On student services, staff said all certified special‑education positions have been filled and interviews for paraprofessional/aide positions continue. Staff also reported district attendance at Department of Justice‑sponsored behavior threat assessment training and said the SEL team will use data monthly to track behavior and attendance.
Administrators said they will continue to report on calendar fixes, audit timing and enrollment as the district finalizes staffing and program planning for 2026–27.
