According to preliminary election results, the two capital referendum questions on the ballot for the School District of Sheboygan Falls fell short of being approved by voters in our community.
As a result, we will not be moving forward with a series of Elementary and High School improvement projects. We also will not move ahead on recreation and athletic improvement projects at this time.
No matter the outcome, we have had some great conversations about the future of our schools over the past several months. We want to thank our community for your thoughtful questions and feedback throughout this process.
Our District leadership team and Board will now begin re-examining our needs and looking at potential alternative solutions. We hope you stay engaged as we embark on this important effort.

We aim to be as transparent as possible about how the approval of the capital referendum questions on the ballot November 5th will impact property taxes in our community.
If both questions are approved, the tax impact will be $2.23 per every $1,000 of equalized property value in our community.
A home valued at $200,000 would see a property tax impact of $446 per year (or $37.17 per month), starting in the 2024-25 school year.
