If you live in Little Chute or Seymour, the school ballots are decided. Little Chute voters approved both an operational and a capital referendum Tuesday, while Seymour voters rejected an operational question.
Seymour had asked for a three-year, $15 million operational referendum, or $5 million a year starting in the 2027-28 school year. Before the vote, District Administrator Kellie Bohn said the district had cut staff through attrition, but said a failed referendum could lead to more significant reductions: "we’ll have to look at more aggressive layoffs."
- Seymour: no tax rate increase during the three years, district says
- Little Chute technology: continues a $300,000-a-year referendum ending after 2026-27
- Little Chute capital: roofs, asbestos abatement, elementary air conditioning
- Little Chute capital: about $2.95 million with $1 million district money
Little Chute estimates the technology question adds 10 cents per $1,000 of property value, about $10 a year on a $100,000 home. The capital question adds another 18 cents per $1,000, about $18 a year on the same home.
