On November 3, 2020, Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) residents will be able to vote on two school funding requests: one to renew existing operating funds, and another to fund school facility improvements. The requests align with OASD’s strategic plan and its long-range facilities plan - both of which were developed with extensive community input. District leaders are committed to sharing information about the funding requests to help residents make an informed vote.
Q1: Renew $7.95 million in annual operating funds previously approved by the community in 2014 and 2016 with no tax increase. Funds would help enable the district to continue to advance its community-developed strategic plan, while following its guiding principle of students first by sustaining academic programs, technology for learning, and student support services.
Q2: Invest $107 million in capital funds to advance the first phase of our long-range facilities plan, by building a new middle school and a new elementary school, closing three aging/outdated facilities, enhancing school safety and security, and addressing deferred maintenance and infrastructure needs. The result would be consolidated and modern schools that are more efficient, effective and equitable - with fewer school buildings to maximize use and efficiency.
Join Dr. Vickie Cartwright, Drew Niehans and Dave Gundlach to hear about this important topic for the community as well as answers to any questions you might have about the referenda or how school reopening is going during CoVid-19. Remember, you will be voting on this in November!
