On the November 5 ballot, the Sheboygan Area School District will ask the community to invest $121 million to rebuild and remodel Urban and Farnsworth Middle Schools on their current sites. Both schools are approaching 100 years old and have similar, significant challenges.
Aging Infrastructure - Both buildings are approaching 100 years old with systems that have exceeded their life expectancy.
Safety & Security - This plan would increase safety and security and improve bus and parent drop-off and pick-up.
Inadequate Classrooms & Support Areas - Expanded classroom sizes with more natural light will provide enhanced student learning spaces and educational opportunities.
If a majority of voters support the referendum, the property tax mill rate would increase by $0.20 per $1,000 of property value. That would be a $20 annual increase per $100,000 of property value.
Community members interested in learning more about the proposed projects are invited to attend Community Informational Sessions:
Both events begin at 6:30 p.m. with a presentation. Following the presentation, representatives from the Sheboygan Area School District and Bray Architects will answer any questions. Tours of the buildings will be offered to anyone interested.
Residents are encouraged to watch their mailboxes for a flyer with information about the referendum or visit the SASD website for more information at www.sheboygan.k12.wi.us/referendum.
