Board approves 7% increase to property‑tax request authority
Summary
The Wisner‑Pilger board unanimously approved (5–0) increasing its property‑tax request authority by an additional 7 percent (or the maximum allowed by law above the base growth percentage), and scheduled Budget and Tax Hearings for Sept. 10, 2025.
The Wisner‑Pilger Public Schools Board of Education voted on Aug. 11 to increase the district's property‑tax request authority by an additional seven percent, or by the maximum amount permitted by law above the base growth percentage.
Byron Keller moved the resolution and Mark Glaubius seconded. The motion passed 5–0 (Andy Scholting absent). The minutes record the motion text: "Motion to approve an increase to the school district's property tax request authority by an additional seven percent, or other maximum amount as permitted by law, above the base growth percentage." The board also set the September board meeting and Budget and Tax Hearings for Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025 at 7:00 PM.
The motion authorizes the district to request a larger allowable levy in the upcoming budgeting process; the minutes state the change is "as permitted by law" but do not list a specific statute or the dollar impact of the change. The item passed unanimously among those present and will proceed to the scheduled Budget and Tax Hearings where the public can comment and a final levy request will be set.
