The old Luxemburg-Casco Middle School in Casco is still being utilized for educational programs with bigger plans for the immediate future. Superintendent Glenn Schlender says the school district has implemented an alternative high school program already with even bigger repurposing plans soon. The alternative high school is a cooperative effort with Kewaunee School District, and Schlender says a new Diesel Tech program is not that far away.
The instruction would be for the first year of a two-year Diesel Tech program. As far as funding the project, the school district raises money through local trucking companies and works with an architectural firm to cut costs. Schlender adds that the Diesel Tech program would be the first one in the state if the plan becomes a reality.
