Sauk County Looks To Help UW-Platteville Baraboo-Sauk County

In a bid to keep the UW-Platteville Baraboo-Sauk County campus open, the Sauk County Board plans to vote on a proposal to cover maintenance costs at UW-Platteville Baraboo-Sauk County. The estimated $390,000 annual expenditure in 2025 and 2026 would exactly cover the school’s projected deficit for the 2024-2025 school year. The Baraboo campus is currently the smallest campus in the UW System. Sauk County officials do not want to see the campus close and are looking for ways to help, including potentially taking on full ownership of the of the jointly owned buildings and grounds. Right now, enrollment at UW-Platteville Baraboo-Sauk County is at 210 students.
