Voters Give Thumbs Up on $33 Million Muskego Norway Tax Levy
With public comment nonexistent, vote and approval on levy was swift.
A $33 million tax levy for 2011-2012 was quickly approved during the annual meeting of the Muskego Norway School District (MNSD) Tuesday night. Voters included employees, retirees, parents, taxpayers and other members of the general public attending the meeting.
Board President Jim Schaefer was surprised at a notably silent response after he invited public comments on the Board’s $33,279,297 tax levy recommendation.
“This is going to be a quick meeting with no questions or comments,” he said to the crowd. “I don’t think this has ever happened before,” Schaefer said, repeatedly offering an open floor for comments.

Schroeder also pointed to record-breaking scores for the district in academics, huge applicant pools for teacher positions, and realtor buzz calling MNSD “a coveted” district for home buyers.
