The Hudson School District on Thursday night, March 8, will hold the second of three presentations on its plans to purchase the vacant St. Croix Meadows dog track.

The session will take place at Willow River Elementary School, beginning at 7 p.m. It will be held in the school’s Lee Auditorium. The school is located on Fourth Street between St. Croix and Oak streets in the older part of Hudson.

The presentation will be made by Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten and at least one member of the school board.

Information will be presented on current and projected school enrollment, space needs, benefits of the St. Croix Meadows site, financing, the tax impact, the planning process for a new secondary school and what happens if the April 3 referendum fails.

Questions will be taken from community members in attendance.

Questions and feedback also can be directed to school board members and administrators at connections@hudson.k12.wi.us.

School board candidate forum

The six candidates for three seats on the Hudson Board of Education will answer questions at a candidate forum Monday, March 12, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Willow River Elementary auditorium.

The candidates are Brian Bell, Elizabeth Bruch, John Burtis, Sandy Gehrke, Tom Holland and Catherine Leaf. Bell and Holland are incumbents.

The forum is designed to allow the audience to ask written questions of all the candidates. It is sponsored by the Hudson School District parent groups.

Voters will choose three of the candidates in the April 3 general election.
