Consultants from ATS&R unveiled the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District’s third master facility study at the board meeting on Jan. 27, presenting a building-by-building facility condition assessment, cost estimates, and five packages of aspirational options ranging from targeted repairs to new construction and central-office reconfiguration.
The Elementary Boundary Review Committee established guiding themes, class‑size parameters and a draft weighted scoring system to evaluate boundary scenarios. The committee will run mapping exercises and present recommendations to the board in March 2025; community concern was reported about potential closure of Hillcrest.
The board voted that the district has made reasonable progress on academic performance in social studies (report R21D) but noted exceptions after reviewing Forward Exam results and local assessment data. Director of Curriculum Instruction Sue Kern presented the report and answered questions about question types and assessment timing.
