At the Board of Education meeting on August 13, the Board approved the Administration’s recommendation to renovate a portion of Fairview South School in support of the Waukesha County Special Education Cooperative program. This renovation will begin in June 2025, and will be completed before September 1, 2025, in time to begin the 2025-26 school year.

The renovation has a budget of $3,468,046, which is a significant investment in both the WCSEC and our Fairview South Facility and utilizes funds from the District’s 10-year capital plan. The renovation includes remodeling of the public entry space including the public restrooms, a new gym floor, the current classrooms and learning spaces in the East wing of the building, and exterior repairs to the facility’s support beams, among other needs. The scope of work does not include renovation of the West wing or North section of the facility.

Thank you to Angie McGuire for being a critical part of the design process and to the staff and families that provided feedback on student and program needs along the way. We look forward to creating an amazing space for our current and future students of the Cooperative program!
