History

In 2006, Weston High School was the target of a school shooting, which killed Principal John Klang. ^[3]

The school district over-collected funds from a 2015 operating referendum. ^[4] In 2021, voters again approved a five year operating referendum to keep the school district intact. ^{[5] [6]} In 2025, a similar referendum failed. As of April 2025 ^[update] it is still unknown what cuts to the district will be made without the extra funding. ^[7]
