Hundreds of children (and adults) participated in the annual Downtown Middleton Spooky Stroll trick-or-treating event last Friday afternoon, October 28, organized by Downtown Middleton with the participation of many businesses, the City of Middleton, the Middleton Area Historical Society and Middleton first-responders handing out candy and other goodies (pictured in front of the Opera House on Parmenter Street).
School district budget: The joy of tax
On October 24, the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District's Board of Education adopted the 2022-23 budget and property tax levy. As the district's director of finance and operations Erin Wheeler pointed out during her pr
esentation, the outcome of the November 8 referendum will not impact next year's budget, but - if it passes - take effect with the 2023-24 budget year. (If it doesn't pass, then the district will try again next spring.)
