In order to ensure the safety of our students and staff, the District will now be utilizing the Raptor security software in all of our schools. Visitors and/or volunteers must present their drivers license or a photo id upon arrival in the office. It will be scanned by office personnel, and a badge printed with your picture along with the date and time. This badge must be visible while you are in the building during the school day. If you are dropping something off in the office, or signing your child in or out of school, you will not need to present your id. A new badge will be created each time you visit, so it is important to always have your photo id with you. The Howard-Suamico Education Foundation, in partnership with Nicolet National Bank and Elevate97, is excited to announce an opportunity for you to support an HSSD classroom. Donate through DonorsChoose.org/HSEF and help support Howard-Suamico Schools and students. Choose a project that inspires you and when the project is fully funded, you will hear back from the classroom with photos and updates. DonorsChoose.org validates the project request, purchases the resources for the teacher, and ships the materials directly to their school.Visit www.DonorsChoose.org/HSEF and choose which project you would like to support. The Howard-Suamico Education Foundation is invested in students and staff and is committed to fund the final 25% of projects, up to $400.

2019-2020 Howard-Suamico School District Budget
During our annual meeting last month, community members received a detailed review of the
school district’s 2019-2020 budget and voted to adopt it as presented. During the meeting on
October 21, the Board of Education approved a total tax levy of $28,248,522, which supports a
district budget of $87,410,185 – a decrease of 2.17% as compared to the previous year.
This levy will result in the school’s portion of our property taxes remaining stable at $9.19;
significantly below the state’s average levy. This budget, just as in year’s past, establishes that
we continue to value innovation, investing in our staff, driving academic performance for every
student.
Board members have engaged in continuous legislative advocacy efforts, specifically pertaining
to the State’s biennium budget, which positively impacted the students of the Howard-Suamico
School District.
The low revenue ceiling increase - a main focus of the Board’s advocacy efforts - especially for a
low-spending district like ours, made a tangible impact. For the first time in over a decade, our
District will see a net increase in our overall revenue limit. Our overall revenue limit has
increased by just over $2,000,000. This is due to an adjustment to $9,700 per pupil for the
lowest spending districts across the State coupled with our District’s first increase in resident
students in over 5 years.
