According to these figures, the Whitehall School District will get about 3.00% less state aid next year. |
This is a little misleading because there was an 11.00% increase in aid from 2007-2008 to 2008-2009, so the difference between the 2007-2008 year (last year) and the 2009-2010 year (next year) is still an increase of about 7.5%.
What is amazing is that even with an increase of 11.00% in state aid last year the District increased taxes.
It is interesting to note that the names of the Whitehall School Board members are no longer listed on the Whitehall School District’s website. Are they in hiding? Could it be they don’t want to hear from the taxpayers?
We’ll have more for you in the weeks ahead.

We just noticed that the Board of Education Members are back on the website. I may have originally missed this but it’s good to know who our board members are. Click here for the list.
Note that there are no elected members with Dresden addresses.
