Report (pdf) - School Management Services

characteristic of Wisconsin school districts of comparable sizes.
Instructional and support services generally vary among school districts on
the basis of size and, to be sure, while it is found to be the case in
reviewing the three school districts involved in the Consolidation
Feasibility Study. Generally speaking, Ladysmith-Hawkins School District
offered the greatest array of instructional support services, followed by the
School District of Bruce. Weyerhaeuser Area School District offered a
much smaller and less comprehensive package of instructional and support
services for their pre-school, school-aged, and adult populations in keeping
with their diminutive school district, community, population, and learner
bases.
Instructional and support services are typically defined as programs and
services that extend beyond those dispensed by professional teaching staff
members (in the regular and general classroom setting) during the regular
school day (8:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.).
The School District of Bruce and Ladysmith-Hawkins School District deliver
such typical instructional and support services as co-curricular and extracurricular
activities (athletics, band, choir, yearbook, cheerleading, others);
academic competitions; leadership groups (National Honor Society, student
council); clubs (Spanish, letter/athletic, Key, art); programs and services
delivered by specialist personnel (music specialist, physical education
specialist, library/media specialist, computer specialist); special education
programs and services (learning disability, communication/speech disorder,
mental disability, emotional/behavioral disability, physical disability, other
health impaired, psychological services, physical therapy, early
childhood/special education, and the like); community education programs
