MANITOWOC, Wis. (WBAY) - The Manitowoc Public School District Board of Education approved a comprehensive school consolidation plan Tuesday night in a 4-3 vote.

The plan is designed to strengthen educational programming, stabilize enrollment and support long-term financial sustainability.

The plan will close Madison Elementary School and Jackson Elementary School. Jackson will be decommissioned for the 2026-27 school year. The Madison Elementary property will be put up for sale.

Riverview Elementary will transition to the district’s Riverview Early Learning Center. This will allow the district to expand to full-day 4K programming in partnership with a local day-care facility at no cost to families. Riverview will continue to offer half-day 4K for families that prefer it.
