At its Monday meeting, the Sheboygan Falls Board of Education approved two capital referendum questions that will appear on the ballot November 5, 2024.
If the questions are approved, the District will move forward with a $99.8 million plan to make the facility improvements needed at both our Elementary School and High School.
The tax impact of both questions being approved would be $2.23 per every $1,000 of equalized property value in our community. A home valued at $300,000 would see a property tax impact of $669 per year (or $55.75 per month), starting in the 2025-26 school year.

The School District of Sheboygan Falls is Hiring!
Did you know? Our elementary school is over capacity.
With a designed capacity of 533 students, the school’s 2023-24 enrollment was 588. We expect an additional 140 elementary-aged students in the next 10-12 years, potentially putting the school nearly 200 students over capacity.
Built in 2000, SFES is approaching its 25-year mark and requires significant updates to its infrastructure and facilities.

A 2023 community survey indicated a growing need for more childcare options in our community. Staff members indicated that childcare would make the district a more attractive place to work and could help with recruitment and retention efforts of additional high-quality teachers and staff.
Families and local business owners noted they were in need of more affordable childcare options. Additional slots are needed, as many local providers have no openings available. Families also expressed a need for additional childcare hours before and after school, as well as in the summer.
Adding a 10,000 square-foot daycare center to Sheboygan Falls Elementary School would cost an estimated $4.6 million.

Sheboygan Falls Elementary School, built in 2000, is approaching its 25-year mark and requires significant updates to its infrastructure and facilities. The key areas needing attention include:
➡️ Boilers and chillers have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. There are also leaking windows and doors, and sections of the roof require replacement.
➡️ The school currently lacks fire sprinklers, which are essential for safety.
➡️ Furniture, flooring, and paint have experienced over 20 years of wear and tear and need repair or replacement.
To address these issues, our elementary school needs significant investments in infrastructure, safety systems, and space optimization to continue providing a safe and effective learning environment.
