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.
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.

DID YOU KNOW that the dollar amounts listed within the referendum question to be decided on April 4th would only be fully needed from our taxpayers in a WORST-CASE SCENARIO?
As we await the eventual approval of the next state biennium budget we feel it is important for folks to know that the more additional aid that the District would receive from the State, the less we would need from our local taxpayers.
THE DISTRICT IS COMMITTED TO ONLY LEVYING UP TO THE AMOUNT THAT IS NEEDED TO CLOSE THE BUDGET DEFICITS.
(e.g. Even though we would be able to levy for up to an additional $815,000 in 2023-24, if the referendum were to be approved, if we find that we only need $695,000 then that is all the District would propose we levy up to at our Annual Meeting in October where the total levy and mill rate is set)
If you have any questions about the referendum that you would like answered in person, then please consider joining us at our last informational meeting on Thursday, March 30 @ 6:00 pm located within the Brillion Elementary/Middle School Commons.

We are exactly one week away from election day on April 4th when our District referendum will be on the back side of the ballot for most of our residents who live within the boundaries of the Brillion Public School District.
So far we have held 24 different informational sessions offered to the whole community, civic groups, booster clubs, etc., and have only one left which is also open to the entire public on Thursday, March 30th at 6:00 pm in the Brillion Elementary/Middle School Commons.
If you have not been able to attend any of those sessions, here is the link to a short and less than 4-minute video that covers the basics.
