Wisconsin’s Menasha (WBAY) – Tuesday saw the passage of school referendums in both large and small districts throughout northeast Wisconsin. With 66% of the vote, MENASHA’S REFERENDUM WAS APPROVED, AND 53% AND 59% OF THE VOTES APPROVED PULASKI’S TWO QUESTIONS.
Voters were educated by school districts prior to the election.
Menasha Got The Word Out Before the School Year Began Thatwood Middle School Could Require Major Upgrade, and Voters Took That Personally.
The upgrade would replace the current school building with one that divides the fifth and sixth grades from the seventh and eighth grades, but it would cost close to $100 million.
Although the District claims that construction won’t start until 2024, excitement began Tuesday night after the vote.
“I Think We’ve Put Together A Good Plan, and My Team Did A Nice Job of Getting the Word Out There and Answering The Questions, and Just Helping Folks Be Reported Voters.
We’re delighted to take our turn and come through for them as we move this project forward because they came through for us, said superintendent Chris Vanderheyden.
PULASKI’S TWO REFERENDUMS ON THE BALLOT WERE TO FREE UP MONEY, BETWEEN $1.5 AND $1.9 MILLION PER YEAR, A LOT OF IT FOR RETENTION AND HIRING MORE TEACHERS. The Other Sought $ 69. 8 Million to Upgrade Three Schools.
The most needs to be done at Hillcrest Elementary.
According to superintendent Allison Space, who spoke to Action 2 News, last year, teachers actually used closets as classrooms and work spaces. But thanks to voters, Sunnyside Elementary in Sobieski and Pulaski High School will also receive much-needed attention.
“We Really Did Look at Our Populated Areas, and We’re Building The School Out at Hillcrest to What the Needs Will Be for The Future.
At Sunnyside Elementary, we are taking care of the needs that are present as well as those that will emerge in the future. I believe that showing the general public and the people in our community that we were doing it correctly was really helpful. Space uttered.
