How is Stanley-Boyd Area School District paid for?
Like other Wisconsin districts, Stanley-Boyd is paid for mainly by state aid and local property tax under a state revenue limit that follows student counts. The board reviews enrollment, aid and revenue-limit estimates each fall and holds a budget hearing in October before the levy is set. A seven-member board elected by area runs the district under a policy-governance model, with monthly monitoring reports.
Enrollment
District counts were 1,068 in September 2024, 1,017 in September 2025 and 1,003 in January 2026. The September 2026 budget update said enrollment is down.
Tax rate
At the September 28, 2026 meeting the administrator said the mill rate is expected to go down slightly.
Health insurance
The 2027 bids on the October 2026 agenda put an Aspirus renewal at about $2.31 million, up 7%.
Building projects
A $2.9 million district office and secure entry project is under construction, and a new Open Doors alternative school building is planned.
None of this means the district is in financial trouble. The levy amount, the revenue limit and final budget totals were not in the text we could read, so this page does not state them.
