Good morning, Waukesha.

On April 8, the Arrowhead School Board voted not to renew four teacher contracts at South Campus due to declining enrollment and budget shortfalls (community members voiced strong opposition at a packed meeting).

Waukesha School Board race saw incumbents Koenig and Voit reelected along with newcomer Gallagher Tuesday night (vote totals: 17.7%, 17.6%, and 17.1%).

Results remain unofficial pending canvassing.

Residents approved an operational referendum on April 7 that adds $800,000 per year for four years to support school programs – the district will begin using the funds in the 2026–27 school year to maintain quality education and delay consolidation plans.

Governor Tony Evers signed a law legalizing online sports betting on Thursday and the provisions will take effect after the state completes negotiations with 11 tribes to set up computer servers on tribal lands.

The law ensures wagering remains fair among all tribes while supporting state programs.
