Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 21st of March.
Good morning, Waukesha.
🏘️ Community
Fox River Christian Church will replace long-time lead pastor Guy Conn with Bill Gunderson during services on May 2-3 (after nearly four years of planning).
Conn, who founded the church in 1999 and grew its congregation to 6,000, will continue as founding pastor and mentor.
A public hearing held March 20 in Big Bend saw over 100 residents oppose the Breck Athletic Complex proposal, which begins with four synthetic-turf fields on a 150-acre site.
The Village Board will soon decide next steps for the permit.
🎓 Education
Hartland-Lakeside School Board approved a plan to leave its long-standing bus consortium when the contract expires in 2028 and to offer a pay-to-ride option for students living within 2 miles.
The move increases flexibility despite a potential cost increase (around $200,000) if the district runs the buses on its own.
🏛️ Government
Gov Tony Evers signed Act 103 on Thursday to require insurers to cover supplemental and diagnostic breast exams for women at higher risk (known as Gail’s Law) in Delafield.
The law also extends coverage to those with dense breast tissue, affecting nearly 40% of women.
