Referendum 2024 Home

In November 2024, the Whitnall community voted to authorize a $79.1 million capital referendum and investment in the future of our district’s facilities. This landmark decision reflects a shared commitment to providing safe, modern, and accessible learning environments for all students. The projects within this scope are the result of extensive facility assessments and community feedback, focusing on three primary pillars: District-wide infrastructure, comprehensive High School renovations, and targeted Elementary School upgrades.

THE REFERENDUM INCLUDES:

DISTRICT-WIDE UPGRADES

Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and updates to building infrastructure including HVAC, roofs, windows, etc.

WHITNALL HIGH SCHOOL UPGRADES

Renovated science labs, renovated kitchen, renovated locker rooms, renovated fitness center, updates to auditorium, replacement of failing pool

EDGERTON ELEMENTARY UPGRADES

Right-sized 4K and 5K classrooms, new dedicated gym space, renovated kitchen, updates to main office

Municipal meetings have started with both the Village of Hales Corners and the City of Greenfield for site and exterior design
approval.

PLANNING & DESIGN UPDATE 

The design phase is nearing completion and the construction documents for all four schools will be completed in the coming
weeks. The architectural team, along with civil, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineers, recently met with the District to
review and coordinate the final details.

NEXT STEPS 

Bray Architects will issue construction documents to CG Schmidt for bidding in early 2026. These documents include the de-
tailed drawings and specifications that outline exactly how the projects will be built.
