School Budget Passes / Board Remains Same Size


The Whitehall School Budget of $20.1 million was approved by the voters recently by a vote of 140 to 27.

The tax levy will only increase about $28,000 because state aid sees an increase also from this year’s budget.

The proposal to decrease the size of the school board ultimately failed because of an 86-86 tie vote.

All five candidates who filed petitions were elected to terms of varying length.

Next year’s school spending will be $20.1 million dollars for our district, which had a total enrollment of 672 K-12 students for the 2022-2023 school year.
