The School District of Sheboygan Falls Board of Education has evaluated the District’s facility needs and has investigated possible solutions as the next step in our long-range facility plan.

With our promise to Expect the Exceptional in the forefront, the School District of Sheboygan Falls strives to be a school district of choice. In doing so, we commit to facilities that:

• Inspire and enable the whole student to reach their full potential

• Reflect our community’s values for academic excellence, arts, and athletics

• Provide safe, secure, and accessible learning environments for all

• Welcome, attract, and retain students, families, and staff

At its Monday, August 19th meeting, the Board of Education voted to place two referendum questions on the ballot for November 5th, 2024. Voter approval of both questions will allow the District to move forward with a $99.8 million plan to make the facility improvements needed at both its Elementary School and High School.
