There are plenty of questions about a La Crosse School District referendum that will be put to voters in November. Last night, the second of two community discussions about the plan was held to answer some of those questions. The proposal, with a pricetag of $53.5 million, calls for consolidating Emerson and Spence elementary schools to a new building at the Hogan Administrative Center. It also calls for closing Hintgen elementary and moving those students to an expanded State Road School with eight new classrooms and a mew gymnasium. This is the latest proposal the district has put forward to address sharply declining enrollment. But even some new members of the La Crosse School Board had questions whether this proposal is the best solution to address declining enrollment. There are two more community discussions planned about the district’s proposal, and if you have any questions about the plan, or whether you support it, you may want to attend one of the remaining sessions. Or you can visit the district’s website for an overview. Or call a board member and ask questions. It makes sense to learn as much as we can about the plan before we decide whether we support it when we head to the polls in November.
