Jarrod Fenner faces Cory Roeseler for Sheboygan County sheriff

Sheriff (four-year term)

Voters can choose between incumbent Cory Roeseler, a Republican, and former deputy Jarrod Fenner, an Independent, for Sheboygan County sheriff. Both have worked for the department for more than 20 years.

Fenner faced termination from the department earlier this year after an internal investigation — which opened soon after he announced his candidacy — found he lied on minor reports. He resigned in lieu of termination in July. Fenner said the investigation and outcome were politically motivated.

Howards Grove referendum could fund a new middle school. Here's what to know.

Two referendums are on the ballot for Howards Grove residents.

In 2021, a $35 million referendum for a new middle school on the site of the currently existing middle school failed in a 885-735 vote. This year, administrators have a new proposal guided by more community feedback, Howards Grove School District Superintendent Shannon Kilton said.

On Tuesday, voters will approve or reject a $39.8 million project to build a new middle school alongside the existing high school as well as upgrade facilities of the high school and Northview Elementary. The alternative, fixing all repairs without building a new middle school, would cost $30 million.

The new middle school’s entry, classrooms, gym and cafeteria would be separate from the high school. The project would include a new pick-up/drop-off lane and parking, a new outdoor play area and a new middle school practice soccer field.

If approved, construction on the new middle school would be anticipated to start in the spring of 2024 and completed the following summer. The current middle school would be removed.

Projects at the elementary and high school include necessary air and water quality upgrades, roof and window replacements, safety improvements, and new high school soccer and softball fields.

Voters can separately approve or reject $2.9 million worth improvements of the high school gym and athletic facilities, which would include installing air conditioning in the gym, refinishing the gym floor, replacing the roof over the gym, renovating locker rooms, fixing restrooms in the concessions building, replacing the tennis courts and long jump pits, resurfacing the track, regrading the baseball field and replacing the baseball and softball scoreboards.

The second referendum question came directly from community input, Kilton said.

Residents can calculate how the referendums would impact their taxes at www.hgtigers.org/referendum/tax-calculator/. Approving the new middle school would raise taxes by an estimated $103 per $100,000 of fair market property value annually; approving the athletic improvements would raise taxes by an additional $31 per $100,000 annually.
