Long-Range Facility Planning Background
Our focus will always be our students and giving them the best education possible. Part of that focus includes ensuring our facilities meet student and staff needs. Over the long term, we want to remain good stewards of our facilities and our finances — two pillars of the school district’s strategic plan.
To accomplish this, the Pardeeville Area School District has enacted a long-range facility plan: a process used to make decisions through community and staff engagement regarding current and future facilities and sites.

Long-Range Facility Planning Resources
The Pardeeville Area School District conducted a comprehensive facility assessment during the 2022-2023 school year, selecting GROTH Design Group and Findorff as partners in this process. Both firms have extensive K-12 experience.
Through this assessment, a report was created and shared with the Pardeeville School Board on June 5, 2023. The final report included a detailed analysis including multiple components:
- Building systems and their useful life
- Exterior and interior maintenance needs
- ADA and accessibility requirements
- Educational capacity, adequacy, and utilization
- Overall safety of buildings and grounds
- Budget estimates for capital maintenance
You can access the report to take a deep dive into the findings of the facility.
Enrollment Study
The University of Wisconsin’s Applied Population Lab (APL) has been hired to perform an enrollment study. The results will be complete by March, and will be posted here once those findings are accepted by the Board.
