Expanded Curriculum
 

     In the three elementary schools, the middle school, and the high school, great efforts to offer an expanded curriculum were visible during 2005-2006 and a wide variety of activities were implemented through the cooperation of students, staff members, community volunteers, and parents.  Many curricular projects and programs provided a unique learning environment for our students.  Examples include:

                * Academic Enrichment

                * Arts, Theater, and Forensics

                * Assemblies, Speakers, and Demonstrations

                * Title I Instructional Assistance

                * Clubs and Councils

                * Field Trips, Field Days, Camping Experiences

                * Gifted and Talented Activities

                * Library Participation

                * Drug Free Programs and Activities

                * Service Learning Activities
 

Budget
 

In 2005-2006 the Western School District provided a wide range of services and programs to students and staff. The district continues to operate in a fiscally sound manner.  The district received a $175 increase in its per pupil allowance and we experienced a slight increase in student population.  Expenditures in the areas of instruction and support services increased accordingly.

Beginning with the 1995-96 school year a dramatic shift was seen in the manner in which public schools were financed.  In past years the district received approximately half of its operating revenue from local property taxes and half from State Aid.  We are now receiving approximately 15.9% of our operating revenue from local sources, 82.7% from State Aid, and 1.4% from Federal monies.
