The West Bend School District is holding a crucial referendum on November 5, 2024, seeking approval for $106.25 million in funding to address urgent facility needs across the district. Superintendent Jennifer Wimmer joins me to discuss the details of this referendum, including significant upgrades to school safety, infrastructure improvements, and the closure of several aging schools. The proposed plan aims to enhance security measures, such as secure entrances and updated fire alarm systems, while also addressing classroom sizes and outdated facilities. Jen explains the financial implications for taxpayers, highlighting that the projected mill rate will remain lower than in previous years, making this a timely opportunity for taxpayers in the district. Join Jen and I as we dive into the specifics of the referendum and explore how it will impact students, families, and the broader West Bend community.
