STAFF SPOTLIGHT
For the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to introduce/share about as many staff members as possible, as everyone has an integral role in our school community.
Staff were asked to share about themselves using a "6 word summary." Read on to learn a bit more about Mrs. Prado and Mr. Schulz!
OUR KIDS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FUTURE.
REFERENDUM 2024: Like many other Wisconsin districts, the School District of Omro deals with increased student needs and reduced state funding. At the same time, significant investments are needed to address the major facilities challenges, including District-wide safety and security; aging infrastructure; overcrowding at H.B. Patch Elementary; and annual operations and maintenance costs. Today, many Wisconsin school districts are operating under an active referendum.
The proposed referendum plan was designed to address our major challenges.

The OES playground experienced a "refresh" this school year with all new equipment. The students have loved exploring throughout the first few weeks of school!

OUR KIDS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FUTURE.
REFERENDUM 2024: After wrapping up 2020 referendum projects, the District began working on the next 10-Year Facilities Maintenance Plan. In 2023, the District conducted a Facility Study including an Existing Conditions Assessment and Educational Space/Capacity Analysis to determine the safety, accessibility, and conditions of our buildings and sites as well as the functional use of our spaces.
Portions of our buildings, including the building systems, equipment, furniture, and finishes within them, are original to the 1955 - 1999 construction and have exceeded life expectancy, requiring costly repairs that exceed our annual operating budget. Even our newest building, OES, is 25 years old and beginning to have normal maintenance issues due to age.
Though our staff does a phenomenal job maintaining our buildings, the costs associated with major building system improvements are extremely high. Much like a home, when the cost to repair exceeds the budget, borrowing funds for larger-scale improvements is necessary, and doing more at one time can save money.
