The Whitewater common council\nmeeting is set up to be a direct avenue between the community and the board who\nruns it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is exactly the\nopportunity University of Wisconsin- Whitewater (UWW) student John Doe needed. He\nwaited for the section of the meeting left for the public to speak and took his\nchance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe he need a stop\nsign on the intersection of Prince and Florence St. It makes it dangerous to\nwalk to class because of the uncontrolled intersection and the students who\nwalk there,\u201d Doe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simple but strategic move\nwould improve safety in the area. When walking through the intersection, it is\neasy to feel the confusion on when to cross or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drivers in the area also feel\nif we put a stop sign there, it would also need for a tree to be cut down. This\nof course would add a little bit more to the project\u2019s budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whitewater school district annual report<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a lot to be happy\nabout for the Whitewater Unified School District. District administrator, Mark Elworthy\nspoke to the common council Tuesday night to credit his schools. The\nachievements of the 2018- 2019 school year were presented with passion and\npride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The achievements include:\nJerry award winners, Whitewater high school\u2019s robotic world championship\nqualifier, and the 5th<\/sup> annual Golf Fore!

The WUSD has no problem\nkeeping good teachers and having them move up through the school district\u2019s\nranks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s important for us to\nattract and retain quality people\u2026 We provide them professional development and\nopportunities for room and growth,\u201d Elworthy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This proves true based upon\nthe impressive list of current and former teachers who have been recognized on\nthe National Board of Certified Teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new and upcoming\nchallenge for WUSD will be next year when there is a possibility that\nneighboring districts could be merging with the WUSD. This means more cash and\nproperties, but also more debt and students. The final decision will be known\nby Jan. 15, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other action Tuesday, the\nboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Whitewater common council meeting is set up to be a direct avenue between the community and the board who runs it.
