WEST BEND — While the Board of Education has mentioned the future possibility of consolidat- ing the district’s high schools, any determination is far in the future. They are, however, discussing changing the current policy as it pertains to merg- ing the two and some much-needed work in the 50- year-old buildings. The discussion during the Dec. 2 Committee of the Whole school board meeting stemmed from Pol- icy 188, which details the process put in place in March 2015 for the district to formally evaluate con- solidating the high schools. Superintendent Don Kirkegaard said the focal point was the current policy and what is required if a merger of West Bend West and East high schools would take place. “Just as the board reviews other policies periodi- Hayes Goodman/Daily News Staff cally, they agreed on Dec. 2 that the Policy Commit- tee should look at this policy to determine if it is A tall craneDaily lifts News a roof -truss 12/10/2019 in place Friday onto the fifth floorCopy of the Rincon Reduced 225 apartment to 74% building from originalnow under toconstruction fit letter in down-page workable,” Kirkegaard said.
