Kettle Moraine School District is a school district headquartered in Wales, Wisconsin.[1]

The district, mostly in Waukesha County, includes: all of Dousman, almost all of Wales, much of Delafield, a portion of Summit, and a small portion of North Prairie. The Waukesha County portion includes sections of the towns of Genesee and Ottawa.[2] A portion of the district extends into Town of Sullivan, Jefferson County.[3]

History

In 1968 there was a $3,130,000 bond proposal.[4]

Eight persons in the Kettle Moraine Estates subdivision had requested that the subdivision should become a part of this district in a petition they signed. Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) No. 16's Agency School Committee ruled in 1968 that the subdivision should stay in its previous school district.[5]

In July 2022 the school board enacted a policy that prevented employees from having flags in their rooms indicating political movements and which prevented them from indicating what pronouns they prefer using in their e-mail signatures. The board clarified that LGBT pride flags are included in the ban. Students are still allowed to use both.[6] The policy was criticized for targeting "attacks at specific viewpoints, like LGBT communities, or welcome and safe spaces to students of color", and over 13,000 people signed a petition to oppose the policy.[7]
