EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ At its Wednesday night meeting, the School District of Waukesha proposed four planning options that will change grade layouts and close some buildings to cut capacity by 10%—15% as student numbers drop.

- ➤ The Kettle Moraine School District Board of Education voted unanimously on June 11 to close Magee Elementary School in Genesee Depot starting in fall 2026 — the decision came after long financial reviews that showed fewer students and less money, with possible deficits by 2026-27. The district will work with families, students and staff next year to plan a smooth transition to the remaining schools. FOX6

- ➤ Two Waukesha County hemp dispensary owners are urging tougher regulations after two Milwaukee children, ages 4 and 9, were hospitalized after eating cannabis gummies that looked like candy—each owner already marks THC products and enforces a 21 minimum age to protect public safety.
