enrollments of approximately 15 students or less (actually 13-17 students/section) as required by the State of Wisconsin’s SAGE Program. The Project Consultants found that the average elementary class section size in Ladysmith-Hawkins School District during the 2008-09 school year was computed at 16.7 students/section. The Project Consultants concluded that elementary class section sizes in Ladysmith-Hawkins School District are operated at a favorable and cost/effective level. The school district’s demographics suggest a trend toward declining student enrollment and increasing cost/ineffectiveness at the elementary school level (though, due to the school district’s grade level configuration, with less of a fiscal impact then other school districts with either K(4)-5 or K(4)-6 organizational configurations).

average of 7.3 students/grade level in grades K(4)-5 during the 2008-09 organizational year. An examination of Table 10-W illustrates that Weyerhaeuser Area School District operated six elementary class sections during the 2008-09 school year. Six class sections or 100.0% were operated with enrollments of less than 20 students. There were no elementary class sections enrolling 20-25 students/section, 26-29 students/section, or 30 students or larger/section during the 2008-09 school year. Weyerhaeuser Area School District operates an all day/every day/no fee Kindergarten Program. The school district’s 4-year-old kindergarten students are served by the School District of Bruce in conjunction with the school district’s Head Start Program. Weyerhaeuser Area School District employed one multi-age level/combination classroom during the 2008-09 school year at grades 4-5. The Project Consultants found that the average elementary class section size in Weyerhaeuser Area School District during the 2008-09 school year was computed at 8.5 students/section. The Project Consultants concluded that elementary class section sizes in Weyerhaeuser Area School District are highly cost/ineffective and will become increasingly so, over time, as student enrollment continues to decline. The school district’s demographics confirmed that the trend toward increasing cost/ineffectiveness will continue. © Roger Worner Associates, Inc. 86
