DASD staff hosted three informational sessions for residents in February and March to learn more about the April 2nd referendum. If you were unable to attend one of these sessions, you are welcome to watch the following video recording of the March 13th session that was held at Yahara Elementary School.

FAQ Videos

In addition to the Frequently Asked Questions (link at top right), DeForest Area High School Senior Oliver Schroedl interviewed several District staff the past couple of weeks. He is creating a few videos to give more information about the proposed facility projects. Before April 2nd, we will post as many as possible to help residents learn more about the projects. Click on the image to view the video.

On April 2, 2019, DeForest Area School District residents will be asked to vote on two referendum questions. This referendum is the result of extensive planning, study and community engagement. It reflects input from the 40+ residents serving on the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and from the 1,300 responses to a community-wide survey. The referendum plan:

• Increases capacity for our rapidly growing student population
• Addresses aging facilities and infrastructure
• Provides collaborative, flexible learning spaces to support evolving teaching and learning needs
• Supports operational expenses associated with new facilities and improved educational programming

We invite you to learn more about the details of this comprehensive solution that we feel supports our schools and community and positions the district for success as we strive to prepare students for college, career, and life success.
