Shawano School District business operations director Bryan Kadlec has also been providing business services to the Beecher-Dunbar-Pembine School District over the past year, and the Shawano School Board has approved a deal allowing him to continue to do so.

Paige Bedroske, from Shawano, was among high school students who recently gathered in Des Moines, Iowa, for the Donna and Darnell Pettengill Civic Leadership Academy at Drake University, a three-day summer experience hosted by The Robert D. and Billie Ray Center in association with The Ron and Jane Olson Institute for Public Democracy.

The Shawano School Board was pleased to hear that an anticipated $1 million budget deficit from the recently completed 2025-26 school year would actually only be $260,000, but it raised questions about why it was necessary to make $1.77 million in cuts for the 2026-27 school year.
