Respondents expressed support for Option 3
• I see this as the best option for our community. I like the location of our current high school as well as the freshman being included.
• Sounds like the most prudent and exciting option...thank you for exploring creative options.
• I think we need a new high school. However, I would be in support of this option also.
• This is the strongest of all 3 options since it puts 9th grade on the high school campus, helping 9th graders focus on their futures and the importance of 9th grade toward college entrance.
• Based on our projections, this is the best option unless some of the cost is reduced from option 1 such as deferred outdoor facilities.
• Makes the most sense to us. See value in having all high school (9-12) activities on site.

While some respondents would support auditorium improvements,
others didn’t see the need.
• No additional changes are needed to the high school auditorium.• Build the price of the auditorium into the new high school referendum
instead of making it a separate referendum. A high school needs an auditorium, don't make it optional.
• WE DO NOT NEED NEW AUDITORIUMS, FANCY FOOTBALL FIELDS AND TRACKS.
• Students and parents who use and benefit from auditoriums and sports facilities should pay the cost through fees.
• I would not support any upgrades except for the sound and/or light system in the auditorium. To me this space is already underutilized. Yes, the music department can "claim" their overflow seating but there are easy remedies to that as in splitting up the concerts by choir or grades.
• And the auditorium DEFINITELY needs increased seating capacity.

Respondents preferred Area 1, Area 2 or the dog track site if a new school
were built.• The dog track is still a great site!!!!
• Area 2 would make the most sense....
• Area 1 or 2 are the most practical for water and sewer lines. Area 5 may grow with the bridge opening.
• I think Areas 1 and 2 would be best since they are more centrally located.
• I would support option 2 or 3 in either area 1 or 2. I would not however support any option outside of areas 1 and 2 because Hudson already owns land in these areas and they are centrally located.

Some respondents feel there is too much emphasis placed on sports.
• I think too much money is already spent on sports. Money needs to put into education and more attention could be focused on music and art.
• I want money spent on educational needs not athletic wants. Get the focus back on education and not on sports.
• All students need the ability to use athletic fields, however only athletes need the facility that is being proposed. Not sure if I want to support athletics with my tax dollars.
• Too much emphasis is placed on sports and extra curricular activities and not enough is placed on special needs.
• Newton field is a great venue and I would NOT support building a new sports facility for any reason. We already have a great venue for football and track. We don’t need a new one
• Offer at least the auditorium and athletic upgrades as spate options. Putting them all into 1 is way too much.

Respondents expressed concerns regarding an increase in taxes.
• TAXES ARE TOO HIGH NOW, YOU WILL FORCE PEOPLE TO MOVE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TAXES!!!!
• Sell the land on UU before asking the taxpayers to support any more district spending.
• Come up with a plan that addresses individual needs and does them in the most cost effective method.
• These projects would increase our taxes by approx. $400-500 per year. We are a fixed income older couple that is just about to the breaking point getting pushed out of St. Croix County.
• Property taxes are already exorbitant.• Stop Asking for the most expensive options NO means NO !!!!!!!!!!! River Falls
was able to expand at 40% of what you are wanting.........NO you don't need, you only think you do. NO MEANS NO, find a more reasonable cost solution
• Don't waste tax payers monies renovating the high school for a high school, and get all facilities, like athletic fields on the same new site. Re-visit the land selected in 2014 that was voted down and present wisely to the public.
