VJS was hired in June of 2017 to assist the Wauwatosa School District, PRA, and the Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) with identifying priorities, deficiencies, and opportunities for building improvements. This team worked together for a 12 month period and developed a district wide long range plan. The Wauwatosa School Board accepted the plan and authorized a referendum for November 6, 2018 in the amount of $124,900,000. VJS worked closely with district providing assistance in the areas of stakeholder engagement and community wide communications regarding the plan and referendum. The referendum was approved by the community and construction is currently underway.
“It’s clear to me that VJS values relationships. We have tremendous relationships already with the people we’ve worked with. Their relationships and their relationship building obviously is a key to their business, and that’s why they’re a great business. ”
