CHAPTER VI<br />
CONCLUSIONS, ALTERNATIVES, AND RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
6.0 Introduction<br />
The District Administrator of the <strong>School</strong> District of Bruce, Ms. Deb Brown,<br />
the District Administrator of Ladysmith-Hawkins <strong>School</strong> District, Mr. Mario<br />
Friedel, the District Administrator of Weyerhaeuser Area <strong>School</strong> District,<br />
Mr. Christopher (Chris) Nelson, and the <strong>School</strong> Boards of the <strong>School</strong><br />
District of Bruce, Ladysmith-Hawkins <strong>School</strong> District, and Weyerhaeuser<br />
Area <strong>School</strong> District determined it was in the collective best interests of<br />
their school organizations and communities to commission a<br />
Consolidation Feasibility Study to assess the status of their respective<br />
organizations, identify pressing organizational needs, develop viable<br />
alternatives for addressing those organizational needs, including the<br />
possibility of school district restructuring, and assist in fashioning a<br />
comprehensive plan of action to strengthen the organizations’ enrollments,<br />
finances, programs, services, staffing, facilities, and other operational<br />
components. Toward that end, the school districts sought and received<br />
funding from the State of Wisconsin to partially cost underwrite the<br />
engagement of the services of an independent third party neutral firm to<br />
conduct a Consolidation Feasibility Study.<br />
Cited below are those questions which were prepared to guide the conduct<br />
of the Consolidation Feasibility Study:<br />
What is the current status of each school district’s enrollment,<br />
enrollment trends, finances, programs, services, staffing,<br />
organizational configuration, facilities, and related issues<br />
