Port Edwards School District July Update
Port Edwards School District’s Blackhawk Golf Scramble hit a hole-in-one by raising nearly $8,000, a 33% leap from last year, funding scholarships and classroom enhancements. Amidst these achievements, the district tackles major construction, replacing pipelines and HVAC systems in buildings dating back to the 1920s and 1968. The upgrades aim to modernize and maintain safe, efficient schools. However, the district faces financial challenges due to $440,000 siphoned off by the voucher program in the 2025-2026 school year, highlighting a need for transparency about taxpayer funds’ allocation. Despite these hurdles, the construction projects remain under budget, demonstrating fiscal responsibility and community commitment. Guests: Melissa Kaye, James Bena
