With the Nekoosa School District gaining a new superintendent starting next school year, another local district will be losing someone officials call a valuable educator and administrator.
Terry Whitmore, currently the principal for Vesper Community Academy, Rudolph Elementary School and the Wisconsin Rapids School District’s virtual school program, has accepted Nekoosa’s offer to be its next top administrator.
“I look forward to working with the school board, staff and parents to move Nekoosa Schools forward in education,” Whitmore said Sunday in an email. “With a strategic plan in place, I am excited to work with others in the community to make it come to life.”

Janesville looking to add online middle schoolers

The Janesville School District might soon expand its online high school to include middle school students.
The move would be another way to attract students from outside the district, according to the minutes of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee, which approved the proposal.
The school board has tasked the superintendent with increasing enrollment as a way of increasing district revenue.
Expansion of the Janesville Virtual Academy would help retain district students who “need alternative learning options,” according to the minutes.
The academy allows students to complete high school at home through online courses or to get caught up so they can return to regular high school.

WHITEWATER — From its first long-distance education class in 1996, the Jefferson and Eastern Dane Interactive Network has grown in to a virtual school, based in Whitewater, and is doing well, according to a story in the Daily Jefferson County Union.
A non-for-profit charter school, JEDI is overseen by a consortium of school districts in Jefferson and Dane counties, including Whitewater.
The school’s online classes are open to elementary, middle and high school students, who can earn a diploma from their resident high school by meeting appropriate graduation requirements.
