Build, Secure, Repair

The Proposed Plan

An approved referendum would allow OFSD to build a new middle school on a 90+ acre parcel of land adjacent to both Oconto Falls Elementary School and Oconto Falls High School. This site will provide our middle school with more space than is available with our current building, opening up greater learning opportunities for students.

The referendum would also provide new, secured entrances for all of the district’s schools, providing better controlled visitor access to each building and an opportunity to repair roofs at each of the school buildings.

THE TOTAL COST FOR THESE PROJECTS WOULD BE $37.63 MILLION, INCLUDING $35.5 MILLION FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS IS HOW IT BREAKS DOWN:

 

  • $35,547,000 - New middle school and demolition/clearing of Washington Middle School

  • $1,459,000 - Oconto Falls Elementary roof replacement

  • $298,500 - Oconto Falls High School roof repairs

  • $190,500 - Abrams Elementary gym roof replacement

  • $60,000 - Abrams Elementary secure entrance

  • $45,000 - Oconto Falls High School secure entrance

  • $30,000 - Oconto Falls Elementary secure entrance

 

NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCEPTS AND PROPOSED SITE:

Below are two conceptual images to give residents an idea of what the building could look like, along with the proposed site. If the referendum is passed, there will be a 6-9 month timeframe for detailed design to take place before shovels are in the ground. This detailed design will allow the public to provide significant input.
