Mequon-Thiensville School District

Legislative Advocacy Priorities

Wisconsin State Biennial Budget


Sustaining fiscal strength is necessary for the vitality of our schools and community. We ask Wisconsin state lawmakers to consider funding and policy decisions that will support MTSD schools.


Wisconsin’s public school districts face significant financial challenges due to stagnant state funding and revenue limits established in 1994. These limits, which rely on state aid and local property taxes, have not kept up with inflation. As a result, more than 80% of districts statewide have approved operational referenda to maintain essential programs. Adequate and predictable funding is crucial for the strength of our schools and community. We urge Wisconsin lawmakers to prioritize funding and policies that support the Mequon-Thiensville School District and eliminate the need for continual operating referenda.
