A new committee has formed with the intention of saving the high school aquatics facility, which is on the list of future potential cuts. The committee has a two part mission of covering the operational cost of the pool and to look for corporate donations to make the pool self-sustaining for the community. From their website:
Our community has already lost Badger Middle School pool to cuts. Now, due to reduced state funding, the West Bend High School Aquatics facility may be closed. Thousands of students, adults and groups like the West Bend Rec Department, WB Swim Club, Dolphins, and Special Olympics use the pool for recreation, competition and wellness. Its a quality of life asset that helps make our community vibrant and attractive to new business. Special governmental energy incentives could reduce the $45,000 operational cost in half. A new facility would cost over $4 million. Stand up for aquatics by considering a donation, a sponsorship or by signing our petition. Let’s keep this lifetime activity from going down the drain in West Bend Public Schools!
