Community Survey on Facilities (May)
In May 2024, The Donovan Group conducted a facilities survey of all West Bend School District attendance area residents, which found that a majority of respondents said they were likely to support a capital facility referendum focused on the district’s most urgent facility needs on the November 2024 ballot. 

The survey also found that 86.02% of respondents believe that the district’s urgent facility needs must be addressed now. The survey garnered a response rate that is 10% higher than the minimum amount needed for predictive results. Review highlights from the survey.
