Local high school athletes make college plans official on National Signing Day

The De Pere boys basketball team has won five consecutive Fox River Classic Conference championships, and it will be one of the favorites again this season thanks in part to the return of Will Krueger. The league’s reigning player of the year made his collegiate future official Nov. 11 during National Signing Day. The 6-foot-5 senior shooting guard will play for Michigan Tech, an NCAA Division II school in Houghton. The Huskies went 29-7 last season and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA DII Tournament. The 29 wins tied the program record. Some of the best players in program history have been local players, a list highlighted by former Ashwaubenon stars Kyle Monroe and Marcus Tomashek . Krueger should provide Michigan Tech with another solid scorer when he arrives in 2027-28. He has been a key figure for the Redbirds since his sophomore year and averaged a team-high 17.2 points along with 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal per game as a junior. Krueger shot 46.8% from 3-point range and has made 106 3-pointers in his career. “Will is a great teammate and his leadership will be extremely important to our success this year,” longtime De Pere

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
