West De Pere Schools Face Budget Crisis | Green Bay News

West De Pere School District is asking voters to approve a five-year operational referendum for $4.9 million annually—no new taxes, just reallocating existing debt funds—to stave off a growing budget crisis. With deficits projected to hit $3 million by 2027-28 and costs for insurance, energy, and special education reimbursements soaring, the district has cut staff, ended contracts, and even bought its own building to save. Enrollment has risen since the pandemic, making the shortfall even more urgent. Superintendent warns without action, the district risks a “deadly cycle” of borrowing. Residents are encouraged to reach out with questions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
