Each year, the Holy Hill Area School District Board of Education approves a proposed budget for publication prior to the District’s Annual Meeting and Budget Hearing.

The Director of Business Services presents the proposed budget during the public Budget Hearing held in conjunction with the District’s Annual Meeting each October. The presentation provides an overview of District revenues, expenditures, significant budget changes, and other required financial information. Residents and taxpayers have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments regarding the proposed budget.

During the Annual Meeting, District electors vote on the property tax levy as provided under Wisconsin law. Following the Annual Meeting, typically immediately after, the Board of Education adopts the District’s annual budget and determines the amount necessary for the property tax levy no later than November 1, including adjusting the amount voted at the Annual Meeting when necessary.

The Holy Hill Area School District holds its Annual Meeting each October. The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for district residents to receive information about the school district, review and discuss matters related to the district’s operations and finances, and conduct business as required by Wisconsin law.

The meeting is open to eligible district electors and is conducted in accordance with Wisconsin Statutes §§ 120.08 and 120.09.

Additional information, including the meeting date, time, agenda, and related materials, will be shared with the community prior to the meeting.

Changes to the District’s adopted budget may be necessary as circumstances change. When a change involves the amount of an appropriation or the purpose for which funds are used, it must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Education.

Budget changes and amendments are made in accordance with Wisconsin law. Within 15 days of a budget change, the District will provide public notice of the change through the required legal notice process or by posting the notice on the District’s website.

For more information, please refer to Wisconsin Statutes § 65.90(5)(a) and § 985.02.
