The Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools Educational Services Committee met on November 2, 2026. Members approved several course changes for the 2027–28 school year, including new courses, revised prerequisites and science sequencing, and course-name changes. They also approved technology and engineering course-title changes together with modest fee adjustments for materials; one member opposed that motion, citing concerns about family costs.

No Early College Credit Program applications were submitted for the upcoming semester.

Members also voted to recommend changes to the district’s 4K contract with off-site community locations.
