Dear Editor,
The New Glarus School District would like to thank the community for their support of the February 16 referendum to replace roofs, update the HVAC system, improve safety/security, and remodel for additional classroom space. A total of almost 1,000 people voted, which is very high for a primary, and the passing rate of 79% showed very strong support for the work that needs to be done. Thank You!
Jennifer Thayer,
District Superintendent
