Cutting positions to eliminate $1.7 million in red ink from the 2026-27 Shawano School District budget continues to draw objections from people to the Shawano School Board.

The board voted in February to cut positions to bring the district in alignment with its own student-to-staff ratios after learning that existing expenditures would leave it well in debt when the time comes in October to approve its final budget.

The Shawano School Board approved more than $500,000 in raises for employees at every level April 27, but some bristled at the idea of approving them all in one stroke.

All employees will be receiving a 2.63% cost-of-living increase. Support staff will also receive an additional 0.37% increase to round out the wage hike to 3%. Administrators will only see the cost-of-living increase.
