Lake Geneva Joint #1 School District Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan

 

The Lake Geneva Joint #1 School District has reviewed school configurations to better align our facilities with long‑term enrollment projections and to protect our academic, operational, and financial stability. As recommended by District Administration, the Joint #1 School Board of Education approved a Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan that will take effect for the 2027-2028 school year.

The 2027-2028 Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan was developed following studies and research, along with input from a Community Action Committee composed of parents, staff, local business leaders, city and town officials, alumni, and community members. The plan is designed to align our facilities with enrollment trends, preserve instructional programming, and ensure the district’s long‑term sustainability.

Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan

Work is currently underway to implement the following Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan for the start of the 2027-2028 school year. We will share regular updates and offer support, so families have ample time to prepare. Please be patient as we work through the remaining steps; we are committed to engaging the community throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition.

Elementary Attendance Boundaries

Lake Geneva Joint #1 School District will be adjusting the attendance boundaries for our elementary schools for the 2027-2028 school year to align with the board-approved Facilities and Grade Configuration Plan.

Attendance boundary adjustments will:

  • Distribute the elementary student population across the schools more evenly
  • Create more consistent student experiences in accessing district programming and support services
  • Create more consistent sizes of grade-level cohorts in each building
  • Optimize resources
  • Respond to current and projected enrollment trends
  • Allow the district to maintain high-quality programs for students

Further information about the attendance boundaries process will be shared as the planning progresses.
