Monticello School Board Collaborates with Other Schools

Twenty-seven members of the Juda, Albany, Monticello, Brodhead and Blackhawk (JAM'B's) met in Monticello's Collaboration Lab on March 22.  The meeting was a hybrid of general board operations and discussion, along with discussions about the academic cooperative that began and is still extremely successful now.  This type of process for boards is uncommon yet schools do similar professional development all the time for staffs.  The boards discussed practices, shared resources, and initiatives.

Southwest Wisconsin Regional Transportation Survey

A Transportation Survey is being conducted to help us understand what you know about existing public transportation in the region, what types of ride services you may use or want to use and how we can better improve these services. This information will be used to develop the Transportation Coordination Plan that will influence transportation priorities and State and Federal funding. More importantly, it will help improve the ride services available to you!
This survey is anonymous and will take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. It closes on June 1st, 2017.
