We would like to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to vote yesterday! We also genuinely appreciate everyone who took the time to attend one of our informational presentations, reviewed the documents we posted online, or just plain shared the information with others to consider. Please know that we certainly took no pleasure in having to ask our community for additional funds to maintain our programs and facilities, as well as retain our staff, but we are beyond grateful for the trust that you have bestowed upon us as a school district. We pledge to remain fiscally conscientious and will only ask to levy up to the amount needed to close our projected deficits after we learn how much aid we will be receiving from the state once the next biennium budget is approved. Going forward, if you have any questions about how District funds are budgeted or spent, please feel comfortable to contact me via email at cbaumgartner@brillionsd.org or telephone at 920-756-2368 x. 4101. I strongly believe that trust is earned and can be maintained when transparency is present. Thank you once again and GO BIG RED!

The outcome of the referendum on April 4 will undoubtedly shape the future direction of our proud school district. That is why we are strongly encouraging our stakeholders to get out and vote to make sure their respective voice is heard. Thank you and GO BIG RED!

Brewers Home Opener TODAY! We are celebrating with a tailgate lunch at each school. GO BREWERS!

Fourth graders did a great job making Optical Illusions in art class! 👩‍🎨🎨👨‍🎨

WHAT IS AT RISK IF THE REFERENDUM DOES NOT PASS? We have a lot of pride in our staff, the programs that we offer, and our facilities, but they will undoubtedly all be impacted in some way if the referendum does not pass. Simply put, this operational referendum is not for anything "new". The District is asking for the referendum so that we can keep what we currently have intact. #BrillionLions #PleaseVote

Today is National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day. Let's celebrate our paraprofessionals and thank them for their many valuable contributions every day of the school year! #brillionlions

DID YOU KNOW that just shy of 7 of every 10 public school districts have already passed an operational referendum since 1992? (Those are the Districts colored in blue.) Due to the lack of spendable funding from the state over the last two years, Brillion is now being joined by 16 other school districts (all in white) that are looking to pass an operational referendum for the very first time ever. If you have any questions in regard to this information please feel comfortable contacting Superintendent Corey Baumgartner via email at cbaumgartner@brillonsd.org or by phone at 920-756-2368 x.4101. #BrillionLions #PleaseVote

IS THE BRILLION PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT ALONE IN NEEDING AN OPERATIONAL REFERENDUM? NO. In fact, there was a TOTAL of 92 operational referendum questions posed during the general elections in April and November of 2022. (81.52% passed) In fact, Brillion will be joined on April 4th by 52 other public school districts that are also seeking to pass an operational referendum that election day. If you have any questions in regard to this information please feel comfortable contacting Superintendent Corey Baumgartner via email at cbaumgartner@brillonsd.org or by phone at 920-756-2368 x.4101. You could also consider joining us at our last informational meeting on TONIGHT @ 6:00 pm located within the Brillion Elementary/Middle School Commons. #BrillionLions #PleaseVote

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE MILL RATE FOR THE BRILLION PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT? Since the year 2000, the average mill rate per $1,000 of fair market property value has been $9.61. The highest-ever mill rate was in the 2014-15 school year when it was set at $10.79. WHAT WAS THE LOWEST MILL RATE FOR BPS? It is $7.51, which is what was set for this current school year. The second lowest was $8.55 back in 2006-07. One can quickly see that if the referendum were to be approved that even in year three the mill rate of $8.45 would still be lower than the current second-lowest amount the District has seen.
