[edit] Recent News
On January 23rd 2007, The School Board voted to schedule an April 3 referendum seeking a record-setting $99.3 million to upgrade the district's two high schools.
The board voted 6-1, with Patrick Murphy opposed, to approve the plan to substantially renovate and expand Brookfield Central and East high schools on their existing sites. They agreed to knock $500,000 off the formerly eyed $99.8 million amount, at the request of board member Steve Schwei.
His reason: "I want people to round down to $99 million (rather) than to round up to $100 million."
=*=* UPDATE: Referenda defeated.
