New La Crosse high school budget proposal

In 2022, the school board put in a proposal to have a referendum on building a new high school at the former Trane Company headquarters site at 3600 Pammel Creek Road. The total cost for the new school facilities and renovation of other schools in the school district were estimated at $194.7 million. The proposal would have combined the two current high schools Central High School and Logan high school at the new site.[6][7] The referendum appeared on the 2022 midterms ballot on November 8 and was not approved.[8]
