Revised Plan

Revised Plan

new middle school
The District revised plan to replace Park View Middle School at a lower cost includes:
  • Capacity to serve 1,200 students
  • Space to serve 6th-8th grade students
  • Classrooms/labs for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses
  • A flexible space for student performances
  • A gymnasium and fitness area for students and community use
  • Practice fields and track
 
The cost of the plan was reduced to $89.1 million by:
  • Keeping/renovating the 1993 section of the existing middle school building
  • Reducing the scope of the track project
  • Removing the 4-year-old kindergarten renovation projects
  • Removing the Big Bend Elementary School drive and parking lot project
 
The tax impact of the plan was reduced to $24 for every $100,000 of property value by:
  • Borrowing $13.2 million less
  • Factoring in the downward trend in interest rates for public bonds/loans
  • Prepaying referendum debt for Mukwonago High School, putting us on pace to have it paid off seven years ahead of schedule

School Board Finance and Facilities Committee Meetings - 2021-22 School Year

MASD has followed a strategic process to review our facilities and ensure that our students have high-quality facilities in fiscally responsible ways.  In December 2017, the Board's Finance and Facilities Committee hosted a meeting at Park View Middle School to tour the facilities and learn more about the long-term needs of the district.
The MASD School Board's Finance and Facilities Committee hosted a series of meetings at each of the district's schools over the 2021-22 school year to learn about the current and anticipated needs at each school.  Each of the meetings consisted of a tour of the school, committee discussion, and feedback.  At the conclusion of the meetings, a list of priorities was established, along with short-term and long-term goals.
