WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â It was a busy night for the Wausau School Board considering several different topics up for potential action.
Monday night the Wausau School Board met for its regular biweekly meeting. At the meeting, the board considered a number of topics including two resolutions, and a recap of the April 6th referendum questions.
First, the board also passed a resolution in support of all LGBTQ+ students, staff, and families in the district along with Asian-Americans, Hmong, and other Pacific Islanders. Superintendent Dr. Keith Hilts says the board felt the need to bring the issue to light given the current climate surrounding all of those groups.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â A local elected official will be sharing their experience with nonpartisan redistricting to state officials.
Thursday evening Wausau Mayor Katie Rosenberg will be testifying before the Peopleâs Map Commission at their virtual public hearing for the 1st Congressional District. The Peopleâs Map Commission is a nine-member nonpartisan redistricting commission charged with drawing fair, and impartial maps for Wisconsin.
Rosenberg has advocated for nonpartisan redistricting in her prior role as a Marathon County Supervisor, introducing a resolution supporting a nonpartisan redistricting process for the stateâs legislative and Congressional maps in 2017. The resolution was tabled at the time but a similar resolution passed in 2020.
