As large as the per-

likely even higher due to
under-reporting.
As (students) get a lit-
tle bit older, as you can
imagine, there is a stig-
ma attached about being

Dirks said the number
of homeless students has
risen to a staggering
number, as well.
We ve h a d , a t o n e
point or another, 60 kids
in the district who are
homeless during the
school year, he said.
Frankly, this isnt some-
thing most of us live
with; these kids dont by
and large live next door
or down the street.
The task force will aim
to help families in need,
Dirks said, but it also has
a mission to inform peo-
ple about poverty and its
many effects on students
learning.

should be figured out by the
end of the week.
Once the board is put
together, Dirks said, he
would like them to start
meeting right away and
begin figuring out from
staff what is needed, who
can provide it and how to
match it all up.
I would imagine once
the conversations get going,
were going to have a lot of

fairly short order I would
imagine that were going

we want to talk to the peo-

ask them whats not being

excited about this.
Onsager said he could
envision the task force to be

Poverty is one of the key
issues our district faces, so
we feel that this task forces

Jackson has skills to serve SASD well
I would like to urge Stoughton
Area School District voters to
strongly consider Steve Jacksons
candidacy as a board of education
member in the Feb. 21 primary.
Having known Steve for over 20
years, I can attest to his commit-
ment, intelligence and desire to
serve the students, families and
educators of our community.
Steves 20-plus-year career in
the field of environmental com-
pliance has given him extensive
experience in teamwork, project
planning and management, bud-
geting, problem solving and policy
compliance. Perhaps most import-
ant, Steve understands how crucial
it is to recruit and retain excellent
employees to run a world-class
organization. Im sure part of his
focus as a board member would
include finding new and retaining
current outstanding teaching and
administrative professionals for our
school district.
Steve and his family have been
part of the Stoughton community
for more than 20 years. His wife
Lisa is a 4K teacher in the district,
and their three adult children are all
SASD graduates. Over those years,
Steve has volunteered for a variety
of school and community groups
and initiatives: serving as Kegonsa
Working for Kids co-president
and a district science curriculum
committee member, and spending
many years as a youth soccer coach
and Stoughton Area Youth Soccer
Association board member, among
others. He wants to contribute and
make a difference.
I recently retired from a 35-year
career in education, the final 21 as
principal of Fox Prairie Elementary
School here in Stoughton. I have
had ample first-hand experience in
seeing the qualities needed to be
an outstanding board of education
member. I have no doubts that
Steve Jackson has the personal and
professional skills to serve SASD
well in that office.
I will be voting for Steve on Feb.
21, and encourage you to consid-
er doing the same. You can find

I am a middle school teacher in a
neighboring district, a homeowner
in Stoughton and the parent of a
SHS graduate and children who
attend Stoughton Area School
District schools. I am supporting
Nicole Wiessinger for SASD
school board in the Feb. 21 prima-
ry election, and I think you should,
too.
Nicole brings a unique perspec-
tive to the board: she taught middle
school and now advises students
at UW-Madison. She understands
what college ready means, and
can help our district make sure
Stoughton students are prepared to
further their education or enter the
work world. As an educator, Nikki
understands the many demands our
teachers face, and the incredible
role teachers play in the lives of
children. As the parent of three,
she is in this for the long haul, and
wants to see our district flourish for
all learners the kids who come
ready to learn and those who need
extra support. In fact, Nikkis dad
grew up here, so her love of our
community runs deep.
Nikki is a collaborative problem
solver, a consensus builder and
a clear thinker who will draw on
her experiences as a classroom
teacher, taxpayer, homeowner
and parent to make decisions that
give Stoughton children the best
education possible within our
financial means. She considers all
viewpoints in making decisions
in the best interest of children
and learning. As a teacher myself,
I am glad we have an indepen-
dent, critical thinker like Nicole
Wiessinger on our school board.
Join me in voting for her in the
Feb. 21 school board primary.
Every vote matters.

empty-net goal with 40 seconds
let in the third period.

Questions
Why are you running for a
seat on the Common Council?
As an historic riverfront city,
Stoughton has tremendous
potential. The actions we take
today will impact the Stoughton
that exists in 20 years. Im
running because I want to
ensure that the opinions, ideas
and wishes of the citizens of
Stoughton are represented
when decisions are made by
Common Council.
What qualifications would
make you a good representa-
tive of citizens in your alder-
manic district?
Ive spent time building trust
and listening to our community
members concerns and ideas.
Ive regularly attended city
council meetings and offered
suggestions for coalition build-
ing, re-development and job
growth. I have over 20 years of
leadership experience in health-
care including budgets, strate-
gic planning, multi-disciplinary
collaboration and customer
relations.
What are the most import-
ant issues facing the city in the
coming three years?
Our school enrollment
is declining which if left
unchecked, will have a nega-
tive impact on our community.
This is a multi-layered problem
that requires leadership trans-
parency, accountability and
coalition building. I will work
toward building partnerships
and trust between the com-
munity, city council, our school

promote ongoing community
forums, fiscally responsible
use of taxpayer funds, sustain-
able (re)-development and job
growth that will provide a liv-
ing wage. The School District,
Council, businesses and com-
munity must all work together
to make Stoughton a place that
families want to raise a family.
How should the council
respond to the Kettle Park
West developers request for
TIF assistance for Phase II?
In the 2015 referendum
the citizens were asked if
they agreed with the City of
Stoughtons decision to borrow
approximately $5.1 million in
TIF funding to be used by the
Kettle Park West Project. 59.9
percent of voters in the City of
Stoughton said no. In multiple
recent conversations Ive had
with people in the community,
that stance has not changed.
The council should represent
the wishes of the citizens
and say no to the developers
request for TIF assistance for
Phase 2.
What are your hopes for the
riverfront redevelopment area?
I hope that the riverfront
redevelopment will be carefully
planned, financially viable and
sustainable with a lot of green
space. Emphasis should be
placed on locally owned shops
and restaurants while steering
away from national chains. I
would also like to see ongoing
forums with ample opportunity
for community input.
What can the city do to
attract more businesses to
move here?
Visiting cities with a success-
ful track record of business
development is a first step. I
would also recommend hir-
ing an experienced economic
development director. An effec-
tive director position more than
pays for itself by bringing jobs
that will support a family and
sustainable redevelopment that
attracts new residents.
Is the Common Council
working effectively with the
School Board, or should it be
doing more?
At this time, the Common
Council is not working effec-
tively with the school board. I
am encouraged that our City
Council president Tim Swadley
has reached out to set up a
meeting with the School Board.
That is an important first step
in opening the lines of commu-
nication.
