The failure of the November 2010 and November 2011 school facilities referenda, which would have approved borrowing up to $30 million to update existing and builld new school facilities, meant that the Muskego-Norways school board had to go back to the drawing board. Monday night, after several rounds of discussion the school board decided to spend $814,000 from their budget and $1.78 million of their fund balance to get started on the long 'punch list' that the schools have presented. Among the items that will be repaired or replaced are roof sections on the Educational Services Center and all but one school (Lakeview Elementary).

Muskego Public Library is vibrant with colors and textures of the work of young hands, as school art programs display their talent.
“Art Education: An Essential Piece of the Puzzle” is now on exhibit at the Muskego Public Library, a presentation of pieces from art students from first grade to high school. Dennis Severin, art teacher at Lake Denoon Middle School, said the display is an annual observation each March to emphasize the "value of art education for all students and to encourage support for quality school art programs." Youth Art Month provides an opportunity for the public to see the results of the skills that are developed in art education, which Severin said isn't something other subjects offered can provide. The student art exhibit is presented by art faculty from the elementary, middle and high school in Muskego.

After a four-year stint as Director of Student Learning with the District's administration, former principal reprieves role.
Strike up a conversation about education, and one can instantly sense both the expertise and passion resonating from Alan Groth. That level of enthusiasm and experience is only befitting of a person about to become the principal of an elementary school, or in Groth’s case, return to the role. Groth is gearing up to return this fall as the principal of Lakeview Elementary School, the sole reason why the Muskego-Norway School District carries the name “Norway” in its title. Located in the town of Norway, in Racine County, Lakeview Elementary is home to 17 teachers and 400 students. About returning as Lakeview’s principal, Groth said, “It’s an exciting opportunity, and I’m looking forward to it. This school is very well-positioned to continue…
