It may be “school’s out” for the rest of the Chequamegon School District, but the business end of things goes on as usual throughout the summer. The school board met last week at the Glidden campus and although there were no members of the public in attendance, the usual reports and communications were presented.
It appears that next year’s district budget remains on tender hooks until which time the state budget is signed, sealed and delivered – hopefully by the end of this week.
A written report from district administrator Dave Anderson stated that the state Joint Finance Committee had finally recognized the financial challenges faced by school districts coming out of consolidation. A motion was authored in regard to resetting revenue limits to ease those challenges; however the motion included only the district of Chetek-Weyerhaeuser and excluded the consolidated Chequamegon (Glidden/Park Falls) district.
