District administrators and the School Board are hoping to field some community input as it navigates its budget for next year and attempts to bridge a $400,000 budget gap.
School officials will hold three town hall meetings this month to field input from residents on a proposed budget for the 2013-2014 school year. District administrators and the School Board started the budget process earlier this school year with an estimated gap of $400,000 to balance next year's budget, and have discussed changes in custodial and secretarial services, health plan changes and reduction in some stipends to bridge the deficit. The meeting locations and times are as follows: The School Board hopes to vote on a preliminary budget by March to allow administrators to begin the hiring process of new teachers and staff earlier than the district typically has in past years.

School officials are in the early stages of creating Shorewood schools' financial map and closing a $400,000 budget gap for next year.
School officials are eyeing a reduction in custodial and secretarial staff, and decrease in teacher supervision of lunch and playground hours to bridge a $400,000 budget shortfall for next year. Shorewood estimates the staff reductions and changes in supervision would provide between $140,000 and $220,000 in savings. District administrators and the School Board started the budget process early this year, trying to wrap up by March or April. This would allow them to put their job listings up as early as possible, Business Manager Mark Boehlke said. "We want to be ready for hiring really early, because the good ones go early," he said. This year, the district benefited from an error made by the village assessor and saw a huge 25 percent …

It wasn’t a crowd of 200 like last year, but roughly 25 to 30 residents showed their support for Shorewood schools at the district’s annual meeting.
It wasn’t a crowd of 200 like last year, but roughly 25 to 30 residents showed their support for Shorewood schools at the district’s annual meeting. With one vote against, residents approved a $17.9 million tax levy — a 1.62 decrease from last year — and the School Board adopted a $22 million budget, about $2.2 million less than last years. Former School Board President Paul Zovic, who was elected as chairperson of the annual meeting, said it was really “grassroots government” at work. The annual meeting typically signals the end of the budget process for the district; however, officials will likely have to revisit the budget and reset the tax levy in mid-October, after the district's state aid become more clear. The amount Shorewood …

With an especially high number of retirements and some faculty restructuring, Shorewood welcomes many new teachers to the district.
Twenty-two new teachers will climb district steps Thursday, a number that reflects an anomalous 10 retirements and a strengthened commitment to support struggling students. Most teachers are replacements, filling positions vacated by retirements, resignations and teachers reducing time. But the Shorewood School District also allocated $100,000 to hire new teachers to aid at-risk students, and some advanced students. Classified as Tier 2 interventions, the teachers will offer supplemental support that keeps students in regular classes but offers more personal instruction outside of class. Kindergarteners, first-graders and second-graders will be pulled out for extra help in math; seventh- and eighth-graders will get academic attention at …
