The Germantown school board voted tonight to approve a resolution to petition the state technical college board to be moved from the MATC taxing district to the WCTC taxing district. This petition is felt likely to be echoed by the Germantown village board when it takes action on a similar petition, even though it had originally talked about a move into the Moraine Park Technical College taxing district.
If this were to be approved by the state board, it likely would take effect on July 1, 2008.
The impact in today’s dollars would be the difference between tax rates of $1.77 in the MATC district, as compared with $1.11 in the WCTC district.
There would be no impact on students who would still be eligible to attend any technical college in the state without penalties.
A bill in the Wisconsin legislature would have all technical college boards elected rather than appointed. That bill is felt to be a direct result of the Germantown secession movement.
