On a night where Presidential votes are still being counted as of 3 a.m., the Wisconsin Heights School District has its answer: a "yes" vote for the $27 million facilities referendum. The unofficial results show a 2138 to 1910, "yes" vote, a margin of 228 votes. The 52.8 to 47.2 percent margin illustrates it was a close vote.

The Wisconsin Heights School District started Middle School/High School labs for students on Monday. These labs bring students to the school to augment their online education.
