Eau Claire School District Wrestles with Reduced State Aid

Link to July 17 Eau Claire Leader-Telegram article, "Eau Claire school property tax hike on table".

Excerpt: Property taxes could increase for property owners in the Eau Claire school district to make up for the loss of an estimated $2.27 million in state aid.

To cover the full amount of the loss, that increase - which would need school board approval - could total 39 cents per $1,000 of equalized property value, or $39 on a $100,000 home, assuming property values in the district increase by 3.6 percent, said Dan Van De Water, district executive director of business services.

Athletic fees have already been hiked.
