Lewis advised the School Board throughout the meeting, beginning immediately after the Board President Troy Hanson read an introductory statement. Board Vice President Jim Leister questioned whether that was acceptable since it was not on the meeting agenda.

Proposed Village Of Kewaskum Budget Has Nine Percent Increase

The Kewaskum Village Board has proposed a budget of $2.3 million for 2019.
There is still some information from the county and state that will have an impact on the final village mill rate, but the current status of the budget equates to a 9.13 percent increase over the 2018 budget. That would add approximately $132 to a tax bill on a property assessed at $200,000.
