WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE DISTRICT?
In 2022, Hartford Union High School (HUHS) area voters rejected a referendum to update facilities. We acknowledge and respect the community’s decision. Now, we must refine our plans to better reflect the priorities of our taxpayers.
To help accomplish this goal, the District formed the Citizens Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). This group (made up of parents, staff, and community members) studied a facility assessment and feedback gathered from stakeholder interviews which identified more than $180 million in potential projects. We recognize completing all of these projects at one time is not realistic.
We need your feedback to determine which projects, if any, should be part of the first phase of a long-term facility improvement plan. The CFAC will use this input to finalize their recommendation to the School Board. To keep all feedback confidential, survey responses are collected by School Perceptions, an independent research firm.
Your survey should be in your mailbox soon. Thank you for giving us your valuable time and input.
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET OR THE SURVEY?
Superintendent Jeff Walters will give a brief presentation on the 2024-2025 Budget and the recent Community Survey. He'll then open it up for any of your questions during two Facebook Live Sessions on May 16th and May 23rd at 5 p.m. Please tune-in to our Facebook feed and tell a friend. These are critical conversations and we want to make sure everyone is informed. Thank you for caring about HUHS and our students!

DIFFICULT DECISIONS
As many of you know, because of the State funding shortfall, many school districts in Wisconsin are facing a budget deficit. HUHS is no different. Please learn more by reading Superintendent Jeff Walter's May Report - Download Below
