APPLETON, Wis–Increased state funding will not help the Appleton Area School District get out from under a growing budget deficit. Finance Director Holly Burr says the district’s structural deficit continues to climb………
Superintendent Greg Hartjes believes this is the final year that the district can dip into un-designated funds to close the deficit…………
Hartjes adds that the district will have to consider either going to the public for a funding referendum next year, or to start making cuts to programming in 2026.
