Kaukauna school board keeps statue in place, working on adding signage


TLC Sign illustration — Kaukauna Area School District administrators came up with this idea to add signage to the front of Kaukauna High School to help explain the school’s galloping ghost mascot and statue in front of the school. With a proposed price tag of almost $53,000, the board of education asked administrators to revise the plan and approved a motion allowing only $25,000 in district funds to be spent on the project.
