Dr. Evers Visits Bonduel High School To Celebrate Manufacturing Month

Bonduel High School

and Northeast Wiscon-

sin Technical College

have formed a PK-14

partnership to offer

high school and college

credits to lead to ca-

reer success. BHS stu-

dents can earn credits

in the program that

transfer to college. This

partnership received

praise from State Su-

perintendent Dr. Tony

Evers. BHS and NWTC launched the partnership in 2011 to increase student

opportunities for post-secondary career success. The collaboration has allowed

95 Bonduel students to earn 368 college credits in 2014-15.

Dr. Evers visited the high school’s facilities as part of the state celebration of

October Manufacturing Month. “I had a chance to talk to the student ambassa-

dors here and throughout the area,” Evers said. “They are focused on their col-

lege career. It has been a wonderful experience. … This is an amazing accom-

plishment. The number of transcribed credit courses for a school district this

size is unprecedented,” Evers said.

Little Shop of Horrors

This past summer Bonduel High School’s Musical, Little Shop of Horrors, was a

great success! With an awesome cast, crew, pit, and plant the Audrey II sang, or

ate, its way through the musical. There were 29 cast members including Mallory

Mews as Audrey, Danny Tauchen as Seymour, Mitchell Froemming as Mr. Mush-

nik, Race McClone as the dentist, Noah Treptow as the voice of Audrey II, and Joe

Waukechon as the puppeteer of the Audrey II. The pit had a challenging task

taking on the music of the musical and did a fantastic job. Miss Callahan would

like to congratulate all who were involved in this production. The cast, crews, and

pit should be very proud of themselves for this outstanding accomplishment.

District Administrators Report

The election year and the upcoming budget debate will surely place education in

Wisconsin at the forefront of such arguments. I believe that Wisconsin’s Public

Education system is one of the best, if not the best in the United States. Through

public education Wisconsin ALL students have access to learning the skills and con-

tent that will give them an opportunity to contribute to our communities.

Funding for public education remains a concern for our school district. Rural dis-

tricts in Wisconsin are unique as the school plays such a large role in the health

and well-being of the community. Below are the issues the District will face in up-

coming years.

Declining Enrollment—20 less students at the elementary reduces our revenue limit by $183,000, or 2 to 3

FTE teachers. Yet, we may not have the ability to reduce our staffing expenses due to grade level enroll-

ments.

Student Poverty—7 years ago our poverty level was around 23%, we are now at 43%. Statistically, the socio-

economic status of students is the most reliant indicator of student achievement. There are always excep-

tions, but students that are economically disadvantaged typically will score lower resulting in more supports

that have to be provided to help them achieve and reach their potential.

Transportation Costs—we do not face the same challenges as our friends to the north, but our transporta-

tion costs are greater than suburban and urban districts. Yet, we are all subject to the same transportation

funding formula. The result is that we spend more per student on bussing rather than that money going

into programming.

Teacher Quality—it is the belief of some that a district’s zip code will dictate the quality of their teaching

staff. Wealthier districts are able to pay more, leaving the talent pool for rural districts smaller. We have

begun to see the effects of this last summer as our candidate pool for our open positions was smaller.

Economic Health—schools are truly the hub of rural communities. Athletic contests and concerts provide

affordable entertainment and a gathering point for community members. Rural schools are also a large part

of the local economy with the students and staff visiting gas stations, restaurants, and retailers.

Private School Vouchers—the expansion of private school vouchers will directly impact our district’s state

aid. Vouchers for students in Milwaukee, Racine, and the statewide are paid out from the same pool of

money that is set aside for public education. Once this money is reduced there is less to distribute to the

public school districts in the form of state aid. The result is that to maintain spending at our revenue limit,

local property taxes will increase or programming will have to be reduced.

Senator Majority Leader Fritzgerald shared in a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he would

like the voucher program expanded by 9,000 students. The voucher is worth at least $7,210 for the 2014-

2015 school year. Using these numbers the expansion will cost $64,890,000. If the current method of fund-

ing the vouchers is used, I estimate that our state aid will be reduced by $152,323.

These obstacles will be difficult to overcome, but we must find solutions for your children and grandchildren. It

will take a collaborative effort between administration, Board, staff, and community members to find the best

solutions moving forward.

Yours in Education

Skyward Family Access. The online payments can be made for food service, as well as for other fees charged by

the school (registration fees, parking passes, book fines, computer damage, etc). The process begins in Family

Access and Skyward will automatically transfer users to the online payment vendor (RevTrak) to process pay-

ment. There is no fee charged to our parents for using this service.

When making payments, food service payments made for one student in a family will be credited to

the lunch balances of all family members as the food service accounts are shared by family. Fee payments need

to be made for each individual student as those fees are assessed in the students’ names.

Please try to make food service payments one day ahead. The Family Access view will show the funds

as available immediately, but they do not show up instantly in the students lunch balance. A payment made too

close to lunch may not appear in time for lunch.

Directions for online payments can be found on the District website at: www.bonduel.k12.wi.us. If you need any assistance accessing Family Access or using the new payment system, please contact your child’s school office.

DPI Report Card Scores for School District of Bonduel As measured by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Accountability Report Card the district and

its schools showed improvement over the previous year. The largest growth was observed at the elemen-

tary school with a 6.8 increase and moving from Meets Expectations to a rating of Exceeds Expectations. The

first such rating for a district school. The remaining schools and the district were rated as Meets Expecta-

tions.

The administrators and staff have reviewed the assessment data and have written goals to improve their

efforts. Improved Reading and Mathematics instruction is one of the targeted areas that the staff will con-

tinue to improve upon. Included in their goals are methods to reduce the achievement gap between differ-

ent sub-groups of students. These methods include intervening in a timely manner when students struggle,

early detection will allow students to progress as expected.

Additional information can be found on student achievement by visiting the Department of Public Instruc-tion’s website at http://wisedash.dpi.wi.gov/Dashboard/portalHome.jsp.

Food Service Director Betsy Stanke strives to present a daily breakfast and lunch menu with a wide-variety of

healthy and nutritious options for students at both the Bonduel Elementary School cafeteria and at the HS/

MS cafeteria. The menus include more and varied fruit and vegetable options and reductions in high calorie

content items. When possible, local produce is purchased from our agricultural community. It is great to

support our local economy and provide students with fresh and nutritious food.

An all-you-can-eat salad bar is featured daily with a wide-variety of selections (olives, peas, cheese, broccoli,

cauliflower, and so on) that are constantly changing. Portion sizes of main entrees have remained the same,

but the preparation of the main selections is designed to reduce the fat and

calorie count. The a la carte choices in the high school and middle school

program also keep changing as the food service staff try new items with more

nutrients and lower calories. The goal every day is more nutritional breakfast

and lunch options for students.

Daily over 66% of students participate in the food service program’s breakfast and lunch program. Menus are available on the District web page at www.bonduel.k12.wi.us. The breakfast prices continue to be $1.00 for ele-mentary students and $1.50 for middle school and high school students. The lunch prices are $2.40 for elementary students and $2.65 for middle school

and high school students. Students who qualify for reduced pricing pay 30￠

for breakfast and 40￠ for lunch. Parents are encouraged to apply for the

federal free or reduced breakfast and lunch program at any time throughout the school year especially if their income changes. Anyone with questions about the program or levels of income that qualify can check with Melissa Trepanier in the district office (715 758-4862).

ert Van Rite read their essays on why it is important to recognize and honor

our veterans.
