The Appleton School District referendum on next month’s ballot will have less of a financial impact on residents than first thought. Thanks to increased state aid, more property tax base, and pre-payment of other debt, the two questions would add four dollars per 100-thousand of assessed value starting next year.
Appleton Schools will be asking for 130-million dollars for construction of a new north side elementary school and improvements in many other schools–along with an additional five million dollars a year to pay for recurring costs.
