Summary
Superintendent Wimmer reported that the district received 2,588 survey responses (811 from students) as part of community engagement on whether to have one or two high schools; a synthesis of feedback will be ready for the March 9 board meeting.
Superintendent Wimmer told the board on Feb. 23 that the district is in the engagement phase of studying a potential change in high‑school configuration (one vs. two high schools). She said the district launched a dedicated web tab, issued press releases and newsletters, held two community meetings with a total of 64 attendees, and sent 7,500 targeted emails to families of students in grades 7–12.
Wimmer reported the survey closed with 2,588 responses, including 811 student responses — exceeding response levels from the district’s referendum survey (1,609 responses). She said administration is conducting targeted student feedback sessions at the high school and Badger and will synthesize all input for the board’s March 9 meeting, with possible board direction at the March 23 meeting.
Wimmer encouraged community members who missed the survey to email the district so comments can be included in the synthesis. The item remains at the engagement and synthesis stage; no policy change or vote occurred at the Feb. 23 meeting.
