Neenah schools balance budget by leaving empty positions unfilled
Neenah schools have a balanced budget – but district leaders said they had to make difficult choices in order to make that happen. At an Oct. 27 budget meeting, Neenah schools' finance director Jon Joch and business services manager Amy Gunderson showed what measures the district's taken, and chose not to take, in order to save money. "We can make the budget work," Joch said at the meeting, "but it's really, really tight." The school board ultimately passed the budget. Here are some takeaways from that meeting: Budget balanced through reducing positions Joch and Gunderson said at the meeting they wanted to avoid drawing on their fund balance or going to an operational referendum. Instead, the district reduced and consolidated about 15 positions ahead of the 2026-27 school year. Not only did the reductions save money ahead of a potential deficit, it also better reflected student enrollment, according to district leaders. In March, a staffing plan presented to the board called for reducing five elementary classroom sections and eight special education assistants, as well as removing the Educational Access Coordinator and Program Support Coordinator position from the district office.

Green Bay East alum Billy Yang hired as boys basketball coach
The Green Bay East boys basketball team has found a temporary solution to its coaching vacancy. The school has named Billy Yang as the interim coach for this season, helping to quickly fill the void created earlier this month when James DeVault stepped down after four seasons. Yang, a 2007 East graduate, is the third consecutive boys basketball coach at the school to be an alum, following Rick Rosinski (1987) and DeVault (2003). Despite taking over so late in the offseason, he isn't a stranger to players thanks to his work with Rise Up Athletics. The nonprofit organization was founded in 2022 by former East athlete Kyle Cropsey and helps train and develop future Red Devils athletes. Yang was busy in meetings and not immediately available to speak, but it’s clear others are big supporters of him and what he can offer the team. “Coach Yang brings a tremendous passion for working with young athletes and helping them grow, both on and off the court,” East athletic director Steph Mathu said. “His experience working with many of our players, combined with a commitment to teaching fundamentals, leadership and sportsmanship, makes him an outstanding choice for our basketball program. “He understands
