How is the School District of Menomonee Falls paid for?
The district serves the Village of Menomonee Falls in Waukesha County. Wisconsin caps how much each district may raise per student, so state equalization aid and local property tax pay for most costs. A seven-member elected board adopts the budget and tax levy and hires the superintendent, David Muñoz. For 2026-27 the revenue limit is $51.6 million (up 2.9%), but state equalization aid fell 11.4% to $16.6 million, so the school tax levy is $39.6 million (up 0.9%).
Tax rate
$6.22 per $1,000 of equalized value for 2026-27, down from $6.35, because property values rose 3.0%.
Enrollment
3,693 full-time equivalent resident students, down 56 (1.5%); the three-year average used for the revenue limit is 3,758.
Reserves
$1,514,593 of reserves balance the 2026-27 budget, including $1,114,593 from health insurance reserves, down from $1,861,719 planned in June.
Vouchers
Private school vouchers cost $2.9 million (up 15.4%); aid on the increase arrives a year late, so $387,432 of the levy comes from the increase.
