What are the top issues facing this district/municipality and how would you work to resolve it?

The same as every other small district in the State of Wisconsin which is sufficient funding to maintain the educational programs in our district and to retain the great staff we have in our district. As an individual I am not able to resolve on my own, but along with other small districts and contacts at the legislative level we can continue to tell our story and make our case for adequate funding for our schools to thrive and succeed.



What are other key issues facing the district/municipality, and how would you work to resolve them?

As mentioned in previous question, adequate funding is an ongoing issue. We were very fortunate to have great support from our residents in passing a referendum a few years ago. The projects and work done at our school I believe has enhanced the learning environment in our district and will lead to student success.
