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.
Juan Jimenez has been elected as the new La Crosse School Board president, replacing Annie Baumann. Three new members, Tim Alberts, Adam Manka, and Jim Bagniewski, were sworn in for 3-year terms.
