Good morning, Waukesha.

C.A.R.E. closed its public aviary as a precaution after bird flu was reported at the nearby Milwaukee County Zoo (a Canada goose tested positive) and is now seeking donations to support its birds and plans for a new facility downtown.

Lake Country School Board has scheduled a $3.2 million referendum on the April 7 ballot to cover a growing deficit + avoid district closure.

If voters do not approve the measure, the district will begin proceedings toward dissolution.

The Waukesha School District projected zero open enrollment seats for 2026-27 during a Tuesday meeting, a plan that prioritizes in-district students amid boundary changes (administrators explained that open enrollment applicants, including those for programs like the STEM Academy, can still be considered if capacity allows).
