Schools

The three elementary schools in the Cedarburg School District serve students in kindergarten through fifth grade and have pre-kindergarten programs. They are all academically structured in the same way. English, math, science, and social studies are taught by the students' homeroom teachers. Music, physical education, and art are taught by teachers who specialize in those subjects. The school guidance counselor visits each classroom once a week. Classes also go to the school Information Media Center (IMC) once a week. Music, physical education, art, guidance, and media center alternate in the schedule so that each student has one hour of each class each week. [3]

Controversies

In 2006 CSD requested the resignation of a popular, science teacher at CHS, claiming he had viewed pornography on his district computer. When the teacher refused, the district held a school board meeting at which the board voted unanimously to fire the teacher. The teacher filed for arbitration, which the district accepted as binding. The arbitrator found for the teacher and ordered the district to reinstate him immediately. The district refused. After several court proceedings, the district won. As of 2010, the teacher remained unemployed. [13] [14] [15]

Sex education opt-in policy

In 2010, the Cedarburg School District came up with an opt-in policy for sex education. If a parent did not sign a letter saying that his or her child would be participating in this education, the student would not be taking that part of the sex education, which cover issues such as abortion, homosexuality, contraception, and masturbation. This policy is in violation of Wisconsin state-law and the Cedarburg school district may face a lawsuit in the future. [16]
