The Budget for the Appleton Area School District for the 2015-16 school year was approved by the Board of Education on October 26, 2015 following a public hearing that was held on October 12, 2015.

AASD Budget Highlights

The AASD hasn’t reduced any programming or staff members for 2015-16, instead we are increasing our staff where necessary to continue to meet the needs of our students.

We value our highly qualified staff and will offer modest compensation increases for 2015-16 for all AASD staff. The new compensation framework for professional staff will also be fully implemented.

The District continues to explore options to reduce the cost of employee benefits, including a dual choice health insurance plan with a different carrier.

The District continues to implement a new English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum and a new Mathematics curriculum to best serve our students.

Despite financial challenges, we continue to prioritize our classrooms and advance initiatives, even as our resources become more scarce.
