WHITEFISH BAY, Wis. — Whitefish Bay voters will consider a $90 million school facilities referendum in November, a smaller proposal than the $135.6 million measure they rejected in April. The plan’s largest project is a $68.4 million renovation and rebuild of Whitefish Bay Middle School at its current location. It also calls for infrastructure work, new heating and ventilation equipment, and fire protection and alarm upgrades at the high school, along with new sprinklers and alarm improvements at Cumberland and Richards elementary schools. School Board President Kristin Bencik-Boudreau said district leaders gathered feedback through a survey of more than 2,000 people and community listening sessions after the April vote. She said the middle school has not been included in major work since a 2009 referendum funded additions at other district schools. The middle school has been expanded in stages over the years, Bencik-Boudreau said, leaving an inefficient layout and three separate heating and ventilation systems. She estimated that replacing the school’s heating and ventilation system alone would cost $24 million. The new proposal omits several projects included in April’s referendum, including facility updates at Lydell Elementary and safety, accessibility and infrastructure work at Cumberland and Richards elementary schools and Whitefish Bay High School. The district estimates the referendum would cost an average homeowner about $71 more per month, or $857 per year. Its estimate is about $10.42 a month for every $100,000 of property value. Residents have expressed differing views about the cost and the scope of the work. Resident Samantha Luber supports the plan, saying the middle school and other infrastructure projects are important. Heather Benson said she supports heating, ventilation and safety improvements but wants voters to scrutinize components she considers less essential, particularly given the expense for taxpayers. The district says it would contribute $17.9 million toward the projects. If voters reject the referendum, Bencik-Boudreau said, the district could be forced to pay for repairs from its operating budget, putting pressure on money used to support staff and students. The district has scheduled two more public information meetings at the middle school, on Oct. 15 and Nov. 2.
