On Tuesday, December 12, you will be asked to vote on a referendum proposal that incorporates building needs at the Greenfield Elementary School, Viking Middle School, Baldwin-Woodville High School and the bus garage. The Task Force is made up of community members, district administrators and staff. Though the District s main school buildings have been well maintained over the years, they are no longer adequate to most effectively educate our children. The State of Wisconsin would assist the district in paying for this bond issue. Most of the issues identified in the Baldwin-Woodville Task Force report need to be resolved immediately.
Interest rates are near historical lows.
This year the school district experienced a net increase of 46 students, and the rapid pace of development within the district indicates that further increase in enrollment is likely. Though the present student population is comparable to what we had 20 years ago, the program space needs are not comparable. The Village of Woodville and the Baldwin-Woodville School District are investigating and have mutually agreed to assist each other on uses of the existing buildings and the new facility. The oldest part of the existing school is not handicap accessible. It is outdated or has various operational or maintenance concerns associated with it.
