Dear Westonka Parents, Students & Community Members~

I am happy to report that all three Westonka school-funding questions passed in yesterday's election. Our students and our community are truly winners today. Thank you so much for your ongoing support and interest in our district. I owe special thanks to the Westonka Schools staff for continually providing a quality education to Westonka students.
