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.

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
