The School District of Cameron in partnership with parents and community, ensures educational opportunities that give each student the knowledge, skills, and appreciation essential to succeed in an ever changing world, by providing a safe environment and a caring staff that is responsive to individual needs.
Over the past several months, the Cameron School District has been reviewing its long-term facilities plan, its building configurations, as well as its educational program goals. While Cameron has taken great pride in maintaining its facilities, there are a number of deferred maintenance needs that will need future support beyond the current operational budget. Costs associated with many of these projects have skyrocketed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation. While future budget increases from the State are still unknown, any potential increases in the state budget for public education will quickly be absorbed with on-going staffing related costs. In addition, challenges have increased related to educational programming and the District’s need to stay competitive in public education has never been greater. Understanding our community’s level of support must be researched before a recommendation can be made to the school board.
The Community Task Force on Facilities is charged with providing community input to the Cameron School Board on the following items below:
Along with a recommendation on planning for our facilities, the District Administrator will consider the input from the Task force and may recommend that the district conduct a referendum campaign in an effort to secure funding for future facility needs.
If you would like to be considered for the Facilities Task Force, please complete the following Google Form https://forms.gle/XoMrcoNfoBzkmCow6 by Monday, September 12, 2022 by 3:00 p.m.

Cameron Schools will adhere to the following guidelines from the Department of Public Instruction:
Schools are not required to conduct contact tracing as a standard practice but should continue to work with their Local and Tribal Health Departments (LTHD) in the case of outbreaks. Quarantine periods may be omitted. Asymptomatic (exposed) children and staff, regardless of where the exposure occurred, no longer need to quarantine. Students or staff who self- identify as close contacts may continue to attend school/work if they remain asymptomatic.
If the symptomatic student or staff cannot be tested immediately, they should be sent home and allowed to return to school/work as long as they have been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and their symptoms are resolving, or if a medical professional makes an alternative diagnosis. A negative test is recommended but not required for return to school/work.
Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 should isolate for at least 5 days. If they are asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and they have been fever-free for 24 hours, they may return to school/work after Day 5 (on Day 6 with Day 0 being day of test or onset of symptoms). CDC stipulates this return may occur on Day 6 provided: • the individual is able to mask, they must do so through Day 10. • If the individual is unable to mask, it is recommended they have a negative test on Day 5 or later to return to school/work prior to day 11.
Students will be reminded about good hygiene habits prior to entering the lunch line. Sanitation stations will also be located in the cafeteria area.
Guidance from the WIAA, WSMA, Heart of the North Athletic Conference will all be considered to safely hold events and activities. Spectators will be allowed with no restrictions. Field trips will also be allowed.
Parents/families will be able to enter the buildings to drop off/pick up students in the designated locations within our buildings.
Parent Teacher Conferences throughout the school year will be offered both in-person and virtually.
Visitors are to contact the office to determine if the visit is necessary and essential.
If you would like to request a copy of this information in an alternate language, please email Joe Leschisin at jleschisin@cameron.k12.wi.us.
