Prairie du Chien Board of Education closing B.A. Kennedy School

The Prairie du Chien Board of Education unanimously approved the closure of B.A. Kennedy at their regular meeting on Dec. 8. The building will close before the start of the 2026–27 school year, and the pre-K to 2nd grade students will move to the Bluff View building. The middle school students will move to the high school. The decision follows two failed operating referendums. Declining enrollment and finances are the primary reasons for the closure.
