Academics and Sports Could be cut if $12.5 Million Spending Referendum Does not Pass

WEST ALLIS - Teachers salaries and athletics are on the line in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District.

The district is asking voters to pass a $12.5 million dollar referendum.

If it does not pass there will be no more high school tennis, gymnastics, swimming, diving and golf teams.

Elementary music lessons would be cut in addition to half of the school library and classroom technology support positions and performance pay for teachers would be trimmed by $1 million.

The spring primary is April 4th.
