District overview
Luxemburg-Casco School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Luxemburg-Casco School District paid for?
Luxemburg-Casco serves the Villages of Luxemburg and Casco and nearby towns in Kewaunee County, with four schools (primary, intermediate, middle and high school). Wisconsin caps what each district can raise per student, and the district says its 1993 spending put it on the low end of that formula. State aid and property tax make up the revenue limit; open enrollment adds more. A seven-member elected board adopts the budget and hires the superintendent, Dr. Jo-Ellen Fairbanks.
Budget
The 2026-27 general fund is balanced at $28,972,380; state aid is about 50.6% of it and open enrollment payments about 11.9%.
Tax levy
The all-fund levy is $13,182,094 and the mill rate is about $6.20 per $1,000, down 42 cents from $6.62.
Referendum
A 2024 referendum lets the district exceed the revenue limit by $1.8 million a year for three years; 2026-27 is its final year. Voters were asked on November 3, 2026 to renew it for 2027-29.
Students
Resident membership is 1,776 (up 8) and 317 students open-enroll in, up 2, per the October 26 budget presentation.
The district's own materials stress its low spending and say the referendum maintains staff and programs. The documents here do not show how spending per student compares with other districts.
Where the district stands
General fund $28,972,380 divided by resident membership of 1,776; it includes special education transfers and open enrollment costs, so it is a calculation, not a reported per-pupil figure.
