Washington Valley View schools closed for St. Pius move
The La Crosse Area Public School District Board voted 9 to 0 to close the rural Washington and Valley View Schools. Students will transfer to St. Pius X next fall. Balts argued the move offers better educational opportunities and a neighborhood school concept for southeast district families. Some PTO leaders criticized the decision, but the board cited long review and the educational and financial rationale behind purchasing St. Pius X for $582 000.
