Sheboygan Falls Superintendent “Humbled” After Voters Pass $68 Million Referendum

After three tries and years’ worth of work, the Sheboygan Falls School District has finally passed its referendum. This process began back in 2024, when the School Board looked to pass a near $100 million referendum in November followed by another failed shot at passing a less significant $70 million referendum in spring of 2025.

Appleton schools plan staff cuts to balance budget

In order to balance the budget over the next four years, Appleton schools will need to reduce staff. At a school board meeting Nov. 9, Appleton school leadership said they'd need to save $400,000 over the 2026-27 school year. However, they plan to reduce staff through resignation and retirements — especially in positions that are the furthest from students, like tech services and the district office, superintendent Greg Hartjes said. He also said the districts expected to cut between 5 and 10 positions this way, combining positions and dropping duties as needed. The district also plans to examine non-classroom positions, like administrative assistants and paraprofessionals, and consider whether any can be reduced for the 2027-28 school year. Appleton schools employ roughly 2,000 staff. Even with the prospect of cutting positions, however, Appleton schools still have empty special education positions, according to a report from district human resources director Julie King. And, during public comment, Ferber Elementary School's library and media specialist, Sara Wayland, also asked the board to consider positions like hers "essential student-facing educators," saying she and others in her position teach students media literacy and research skills. Even though Appleton schools passed an operational referendum in April, declining

Union Grove defeats West Bend West 28-14 to advance to WIAA Division 2 State Semifinals for first time in program history

UNION GROVE – By the time most media and gameday personnel arrived, there weren’t many spots left in the Union Grove High School parking lot. This is what November football is like, with both West Bend West and Union Grove’s fanbases arriving early and with plenty of energy. The Spartans sent two full buses of students down to Union Grove to see the program’s first ever appearance in a sectional final. The Broncos, anticipating a raucous crowd, switched sidelines to be away from the bleachers for this showdown.

Milwaukee Schools Lean Too Hard on Special Ed Referrals, Consultants Warn

Outside consultants who reviewed Milwaukee Public Schools’ special education referrals and disciplinary transfers say the district appears to be leaning too heavily on both, pointing instead to a need for more direct support when students act out in class. The consultants have proposed building a behavioral rapid response team and expanding early childhood education as ways to cut down on referrals they consider unnecessary.

Xavier beats Bay Port to win girls flag football title hosted by Packers

APPLETON – The championship trophy isn't gaudy or flashy, but the words inscribed on it do have deep meaning: "Forever The First." That's what the Xavier girls flag football team will have in its trophy case as a reminder of the Hawks' historic achievement being Wisconsin girls flag football champions – the state's first recognizable championship in the growing sport. The Green Bay Packers hosted the tournament at Emplify Health Field on Nov. 7 with Xavier knocking off Bay Port 19-6 in the title game. Sophomore quarterback Addy Hafner had three touchdowns passing with senior Hailey Hafner adding 10 carries for 90 yards along with six catches for 56 yards and a touchdown. Senior receivers Abigail Anderson and Macy Hietpas also had touchdown receptions in the win. Xavier's players received championship rings from the Packers as part of the celebration and the thought is this inaugural tournament is a precursor to the sport becoming an officially sanctioned WIAA sport. "I think it's just so cool that we are able to set an example for other girls to be like, 'We can play and we can make a sport when we show interest in it,'" Hietpas said. "I know there's so

After 34 years, Assata High School suddenly closing in November

Assata High School, which since 1992 has served Milwaukee students at risk of not graduating from high school, plans to close at the end of November because of low enrollment. The news came in a Nov. 3 letter from Tony Kearney, president of the board of directors for Assata, to Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius. The closure will be effective Nov. 30, he wrote. As a partnership school, Assata is run as a nonprofit by an independent board of directors, but it relies on a contract with MPS for funding and oversight. It offers credit recovery courses and career exploration. The Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to consider the mutual termination of its contract with Assata at a meeting Nov. 12 . In his letter to MPS, Kearney expressed "sincere regret" about the closure. "This decision was reached after careful consideration and is the result of declining enrollment over the past couple of years, a trend that has made it no longer possible to serve our scholars at the level they deserve," Kearney wrote. Assata has enrolled between 90 and 130 students each year for the past two decades, state data show. In 2024, enrollment dropped to 78, then

Is High School Actually About Learning or Just Getting Good Grades?

Students spend many hours studying, doing homework and keeping grades up, but are they really learning or just trying to get enough points to get good grades?. For some students, grades affect their GPA, the college they go to, and what they will do after graduating from high school, and this leads to another very important question, Do grades accurately show how much a student has learned?
