The La Crosse School Board has promised more opportunities for citizens to offer their opinions on a $53 million elementary school building project, which includes a new elementary school at the site of the Hogan Administration Center and an addition to State Road Elementary School. The board has launched a series of community engagement sessions, and board members promised more sessions during the summer.
The La Crosse School District has launched a community engagement campaign to pass a $53 million building referendum this fall, which calls for building a new $42 million elementary school and an $11 million addition at State Road Elementary School. The district is facing an annual operating deficit of $2 million and is seeking to upgrade facilities and reduce square footage during a time of declining enrollment.
