“My favorite part about teaching kindergarten is that the students are always excited to come and learn. They love everything about school. I love seeing the growth that happens and how they come to school at different levels, with different backgrounds, but all get from point A to point B. Seeing that aha moment is amazing. I love being a kindergarten teacher.” - Kim Trent, Evans Elementary School #Fondy #FondyChangesOutcomes #FondDuLac #CardinalFamily

Meet Marissa. She’s a Senior at Fond du Lac High School, and her dream of becoming a nurse is one step closer to becoming a reality. After she graduates next Spring, she’ll head off to college with 33 college credits already in the bag– saving both money and time so she can jumpstart her career. This incredible head start has been made possible through her dedication to her classes through the Healthcare Academy at Fondy. Available to Juniors who are serious about a career in medicine, the academy gives students like Marissa invaluable hands-on experience and the chance to gain real-world skills. She is excited to continue her journey and can’t wait to start impacting people’s lives. #FutureNurse #Healthcare #HealthCareAcademy #Fondy #FondyChangesOutcomes #FondDuLac #CardinalFamily

The current State school funding formula does not allow districts to keep up with the increasing costs associated with funding school operations. If districts need additional funds to support school operations, they must ask taxpayers for approval through an operational referendum. This scenario is not unique to Fond du Lac. In fact, the majority of Wisconsin school districts currently have active referendums to fund operational needs. The current budget projection shows a budget shortfall of $7-9 million per year over the next four years. This projection model assumes no new funding support from the State. While we are hopeful the State will provide additional funding to districts, we are forced to plan with the assumption of only having current funds. We are asking taxpayers to support additional funds to support school operations so that the District does not have to make major cuts to staff and programming, that would impact student learning.
