JWP School District Continues To Look At Budget Options

Like many area schools, the Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton School District is looking to make cuts. For that district, the top money-saving cuts will be either switching to a four-day school week, or shutting down their middle school. News 12's Ryan Gustafson was in Waldorf today, and he joins us live from the newsroom. The district is looking to cut around five hundred thousand dollars from their budget, and that's counting on the community passing an operating levy in the fall. All in all, there are 35 proposed cuts, totaling to just over one million dollars, so the district does have some leeway in what gets cut and what stays. Which is what brought many in Waldorf to tonight's school board study session. "I was here when we closed Pemberton and it was, we lost a lot of kids and there's a lot of money, what is it 5-6 thousand dollars a pupil - can we sacrifice losing these kids?" "I know there's lots of things to look at here. And I urge you to make a justifiable decision, when you're doing this." But with the other proposed options being the elimination of junior high sports and music classes, among other things, it may be hard to keep the Waldorf Middle School running. The Waldorf School had undergone a renovation as recently as 1998. The Janesville school district and the Waldorf-Pemberton school district consolidated in 1990. Live in the newsroom, Ryan Gustafson, News 12.
