Scot Ecker will leave the school district on Dec. 28 after 4 1/2 years of service to take a position with Carthage College; Supervisor of Building and Grounds Gary Rosploch will retire in February.

The Muskego-Norway School District has posted two videos in anticipation of the Nov. 8 referendum, which will ask residents if they approve borrowing for a nearly $30 million school facilities plan. One video reiterates what an earlier mailer sent to residents has outlined as far as its plans should the referendum pass.

The building and grounds position could be eliminated and combined with the new budget director's position as other districts do. Could be some savings there.
