SPRING VALLEY, WI – It was a good example of democracy in action last Monday night, September 8, 2025. Spring Valley School District members answered the call to attend the “Notice of Special School District Meeting” as advertised by Public Notice in the last two issues of the Sun-Argus, the District website and other social media listings for the 7:00 p.m. meeting.

The meeting took place in the Middle-High School Library. Participants when they arrived had to sign in, attesting they were 18 years of age or older, and that you resided in the boundaries of the School District of Spring Valley. They then received a four-page information packet and two separate ballots, one yellow and one pink for the two questions asked.

The information packets included a copy of the “Notice of Special School District Meeting” and “Special School District Meeting Agenda” (copies of the Public Notices published the last two weeks in the Sun-Argus) along with a copy of the actual “Special School District Meeting Agenda,” that outlined how the meeting would proceed, “Arrival, Meeting Begins, Explanation of Meeting Procedures, Presentations, Comments and Questions / Voting.” The third item in the pack was color copy of the “Bus Barns Locations + Site Layout.”
