FACILITIES
Cedarburg students enjoy cutting edge facilities. Cedarburg School District classrooms are almost without exception equipped with the latest in SMART Board™ technology. This technology acquisition in 2010, a partnership between the District and a generous donation from the Cedarburg Education Foundation, enhances the learning experience for students, and opens up a whole new world of teaching methods for district educators.
In 2002, the District opened its new field house at the high school that includes a double-wooden court for basketball and volleyball, a marked, synthetic multi-purpose surface for track around the gymnasium. Separate physical education facilities include a fitness center and eight-lane swimming pool, which are also open to the community. The Cedarburg Performing Arts Center, a state of the art 400-seat performing center used for theatre, choral and band performances, as well as professional performances throughout the year, all open to the public.
MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS
The Cedarburg School District provides high quality curriculum and instruction focused on the understandings and skills of each discipline. Extensions and interventions are matched to individual student needs. Educators within each of the schools ask themselves, “How well do students respond to our instruction? How can we respond to the variety of ways in which our students learn? and what interventions do we need to put in place to ensure successful learning?" Proficiency levels and benchmarks are set and a variety of performance data and artifacts are collected and used to track progress over time. For students who are not making expected growth, a School Based Intervention Team process brings educators and parents together to collaborate and plan interventions.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Cedarburg School District has consistently ranked among the lowest in district per pupil expenditure in not only the North Shore Region, but also all of Southeastern Wisconsin, while consistently ranking at or among the highest performing school districts in Southeastern Wisconsin.
The Cedarburg School Board has exhibited a commitment to fiscal prudence while supporting academic excellence and a commitment to the needs of students, staff and District facilities. Over the past four years the School Board has voted not to levy the maximum taxes allowed under state law four times, a noteworthy act of fiscal moderation.
