Despite this financial setback, the district is on solid footing. The programming that has been a strength of WPS will remain and we will continue to improve access for all youth and families. Our budget decisions are rooted in the priorities of the deep work that culminated in the new five-year strategic plan, Our Promise to the Future to ensure the success of our scholars.

We are writing to clarify information about the availability of drinking water in our schools. First and foremost, all students and staff have access to drinking water in school buildings.
