What's New in West Bend Schools: Keep Two High Schools or Change to One High School?

It is increasingly apparent that the district administration is moving in the direction of changing to one high school. As community members, everyone needs to let the Board members know how they feel about the change. The Board will be voting this fall on this proposal.
There are some very serious considerations they need to think about.
1. No one knows if the district will lose students to open enrollment due to the West Bend having the largest high school in the state if we make the change.
2. No one knows if the proposed savings will really pan out.
3. The administration refuses to consider reducing the number of high school principals unless the change is made from two high schools to one. WHY? Just because it has been tried before does not mean that intelligent, well paid people can't make it work. Such a move will save the district well over $100,000.00 a year while retaining the two high schools.
Please let these men know how you feel:
