todayMarch 16, 2016

The Waupun School District plans to go to referendum this fall for a major district-wide facilities upgrade.   The district Facilities Advisory Committee met Monday to finalize its priorities.  Superintendent  Tanya Gubin says the total cost would be in the neighborhood of $30 million.  The school board will finalize the question and costs by the end of August.  A community survey will be mailed out in May.  Gubin says specific priorities include a new gym/ cafeteria at Meadow View Primary school and improving handicap accessibility.   Gubin says the committee agreed to prioritize the addition of a new library and media Center,   classroom remodeling and parking improvements and a new greenhouse at the SAGES school.  Gubin says the committee also decided to keep  6th grade at Rock River Intermediate School instead of moving it to the Junior/Senior High School.  At the Junior/Senior High School Gubin says the committee agreed that renovating and expanding technical education and agricultural programs is one priority .  She says the committee felt building a new auditorium should not be a part of the referendum question.
