School district survey seeks community input

The School District of Fort Atkinson is asking residents to take a community-wide survey to review the district’s operational and facility needs, consider possible solutions and provide feedback. 

According to information recently released by the district, The survey follows the recent work of an advisory committee made up of some 30 community members, district leadership and the members of the school board to evaluate the needs and identify priorities for the community’s consideration. 

“While we have a great school district in Fort Atkinson, we also have a number of operational and facility needs that we must address soon so that we can continue to deliver a high-quality educational experience to our students. The district and board are now asking community members to review these needs and provide their thoughts on potential solutions. We look forward to engaging our community around these issues through this survey, as well as in the weeks and months to come,” District Superintendent Rob Abbott was quoted as saying within released information.

The survey, which is available online at https://www.fortschools.org/survey through Nov. 15, is anonymous and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once it has closed, the results will be presented to the school board. Comments or questions can be directed to Fort Atkinson Communications and Community Engagement Specialist Marissa Weidenfeller by email: info@fortschools.org or phone: 920-563-7851, the release stated. 

Paper copies of the survey can be picked up and returned at the Fort Atkinson Chamber of Commerce, Senior Center, Dwight Foster Public Library, Municipal Building, and Parks and Recreation Office.

    Didn’t they need to spend all that money on geothermal at the middle school? Now they say it costs too much to take care of that school? B.S.! If they don’t spend all the money it would look like they don’t need as much, that’s the only reason they need to build a new school! My house is over 100 years old, and it’s been kept up, I have no reason to build a new one, neither does the school district need to build a new school!
