On April 1, 2025, voters in the Whitewater Unified School District approved a $30 million capital referendum to invest in the future of our schools and community. This site is your go-to source for updates, progress reports, and key milestones as the referendum projects move forward.

​​

WUSD sought approval at the August 11 and September 8 Plan & Architectural Review Commission meeting to rezone the parcels for Whitewater High School, Lincoln Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Lakeview Elementary from R-2 (One and Two Family Residence District) to I (Institutional District). Which was approved.

​

This change was recommended by the City of Whitewater and aligns with standard zoning practices across Wisconsin, where school properties are typically designated as Institutional.

​

This update is purely administrative, and there will be no changes to school operations, property use, or neighborhood impact. The reclassification simply reflects the actual use of the properties and helps WUSD avoid the need for conditional use permits for routine improvements, such as signage or minor facility updates.

​

The middle school was rezoned earlier this year during a signage upgrade, and this step brings the remaining schools into alignment.
