We are incredibly grateful to our community for participating in the April 7 election and for supporting the Appleton Area School District’s operational referendum.  

Preliminary results show strong community support, with 66% of voters approving the operational referendum. We are grateful for the continued support our community shows for education.

With voter approval of a $15 million-per-year increase in funding over the next four years, the AASD will be able to maintain current programs, services, and staffing levels while continuing to address our ongoing budget challenges.

This support also allows us to strengthen student services, including increasing access to school counselors and social workers, so students can receive timely support for mental health, family, and social needs that impact learning.

We recognize that this represents an investment from our community, and we are committed to using these resources responsibly, transparently, and in ways that directly benefit students.

On behalf of our nearly 15,000 students and 2,000 staff members, thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to our schools. When our students succeed, our community succeeds.
