What stands out about how Wilmot is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Kearsarge Regional School District

Wilmot’s K–12 school district, shared with Bradford, New London, Newbury, Springfield, Sutton and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

Of the $26,999 per pupil, $17,380 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Wilmot collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Wilmot didn’t report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $1.4 million; interest on debt $1,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $3.5 million.

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
