The Lena Public School District will be asking voters for approval when they go to the polls in April to continue to provide funding beyond state-mandated limits for operational expenses.

New fees for the new aspects of the Shawano Recreation Center, currently under renovation, passed the first glance Feb. 18 from the Shawano Park and Recreation Commission.

Existing fees are expected to remain the same for now, according to Matt Hendricks, park and recreation director, but those fees were passed three years ago and are expected to be reviewed at the end of 2026.
