Lutheran churches in region look to consolidate schools | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press Gazette
Several local Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod congregations may close their current elementary schools to open a regional building.
The churches — Trinity Lutheran in Kaukauna, St. John's Lutheran Church in Wrightstown, St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Green Bay and St. Mark Lutheran Church in De Pere — have met with members to discuss the possibility of closing their church schools to open one that would serve pre-kindergarten to grade 8.
If the plan gets the go-ahead, Bock expects fundraising to take about a year with another year or so for engineering and construction. A new school could be open for the 2013-14 school year, he said, and the other schools would close.
"We want it to come across as a positive thing," said St. Mark school principal Jeremy Bock. "We can combine our resources to create a better school."
Combining resources could allow the school to hire a special education teacher or start music programs or programming for gifted and talented students, he said.
"Church schools are just too small to do some of those things, but that's what parents are looking for," Bock said.
The new regional school would sit on an independent campus and would not be tied to any congregation, nor would it be limited to just Wisconsin Synod, or WELS, families. Busing would be available.
