Referendum to build new Sunset

Opposed

Depends on long term plan

Build on Ryf Road

Budget Cuts

Target non-academic areas

Consolidation of district services

Need to protect "basics"

Protect educational core; district made mistake cutting Consumer Education

All Day Kindergarten

Opposed to it, but will not initiate effort to end it

Not very supportive of it, but believes that it is here to stay

Not very supportive of it; will not initiate effort to end it.

Parents want it.

SAGE Program

Opposed to it; claims no link between smaller class sizes and student outcomes

Supports for Kindergarten through 2nd grade

Does not support extending it; would support scaling back district commitment in tough budget times

Research indicates smaller class size is beneficial at lower grades

Qualified Economic Offer

Supports keeping it in place

Believes school districts are stuck with the QEO as long as other state school funding policies are in place

Believes it's unfair that teachers are guaranteed 3.8% increase through QEO. Teachers need to "share in the pain."

Believes something needs to be done about the fact that teacher salaries in Wisconsin have been sinking. QEO needs to be looked at again.

Taxes

Would never vote for a budget with a tax increase

Would only vote for tax increase if need is established based on planning

Would only vote for tax increase after all other means of balancing budget have been exhausted

School board cannot raise taxes because of state law

Continuous Quality Improvement

Believes district needs to get citizen input; CQI one way of doing that

CQI valuable if district committed to long term planning

West H igh Site Council and Mascot is example of how the CQI system does not work

CQI needs to be expanded in the classroom.

Should Theil resign from board?

Should not resign, but should never have run in the first place

No. Voters elected her and have a right to her representation

Yes, if she cannot vote on important issues

No. Voters elected her and she does a good job.

Oshkosh West Indian Logo

No strong feelings, but would support site council recommendation to retire it

Would support site council recommendation to retire logo

Did not like the way the school board "rubber stamped" the site council recommendation

Would have supported the site council recommendation
