The first phase of our referendum work is complete. This consists of remodeling all district entryway spaces to provide for more secure accountability of guests, as well as accommodating traffic entering and leaving district facilities. The bid process for phase II is almost complete, with an anticipated start to excavation and site work set for early/mid October. We will have a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, September 18th to kick off the new construction. This will take place at the site of the new Environmental Studies Center to the east of the High School facility. New construction occurring during phase II will include 2 new classrooms at Birnamwood Elementary, a new handicap ramp at the main entrance, renovations to the choir and general music classroom, and a new elementary playground. Additionally, Wittenberg Elementary will also receive two new elementary classrooms, a new music classroom, primary bathrooms, and enhancements to the art, 4K and Kindergarten classrooms. Finally, the High School will receive a complete HVAC replacement, improvements to many career and technical education spaces, added square footage to the community fitness center, completely renovated science classrooms and a new environmental studies building where all agriculture education classes will take place. This highlights the major changes taking place beginning October 2019 and continuing through August of 2020. Please stay tuned for updates as we continue to move through the construction process.

On behalf of the entire School District of Wittenberg-Birnamwood, we would like to share our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your support with November 6th's referendum. Results have not been officially canvassed, but unofficial numbers show Question 1 at approximately 1,888 yes votes and 1,428 no votes and Question 2 at approximately 1,362 yes votes and 1,944 no votes. Again, this is only based on information we received from municipalities, so an official count is yet to be determined. The vote of confidence you have provided will allow for significant infrastructure improvements to be made throughout all of our facilities and will absolutely benefit our students' school experience. This is a true testament to the support and commitment our families, taxpayers, all stakeholders have in our system. Our kids will be the recipient of some great changes coming soon!
With sincere thanks,
WB Schools
