It’s a busy stretch for Elkhart Lake as the village prepares for the April election, reviews seasonal road work, and local schools head toward spring break. Here’s what residents should know from the past week and what’s coming up next.

Spring Election: April 7 on the Horizon

Village and school district officials are reminding residents that the Spring Election will be held Tuesday, April 7. Absentee voting is now underway, with in-person absentee hours available at the Village Hall during regular business hours.

Key items on local ballots across Sheboygan County include school board races and municipal offices. Elkhart Lake voters are encouraged to confirm their registration status and polling location in advance. The deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail is approaching in late March, and officials recommend acting early to avoid delays.

Village Board Reviews Spring Road and Infrastructure Plans

At its recent meeting, the Elkhart Lake Village Board discussed upcoming street maintenance and infrastructure work planned for the 2026 construction season. Projects under review include surface repairs on select residential streets and stormwater system improvements.

While final schedules are still being confirmed, residents can expect more detailed timelines later this month. Any major road work notices or temporary parking restrictions will be posted through the village website and local channels before construction begins.

Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Schools: Calendar Updates

The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District is entering the final stretch before spring break, which is scheduled to begin at the end of March. Families are encouraged to check the district calendar for specific dates, especially as spring sports practices and extracurricular events ramp up.

School board members also continue budget planning discussions ahead of the 2026-27 fiscal year. Community members may attend upcoming board meetings to follow discussions on staffing, facilities, and long-term financial planning.

Countywide Public Safety Reminder Ahead of Winter Storm

With snow and freezing rain forecast for the remainder of the weekend into early next week, Sheboygan County officials are urging residents to prepare for hazardous travel conditions. Strong winds and accumulating snow could impact both rural and state highways serving Elkhart Lake.

Drivers are advised to monitor 511WI for real-time road conditions and allow extra travel time, particularly Sunday night into Monday when freezing rain and blowing snow are expected. Residents should also ensure sidewalks are cleared promptly to maintain pedestrian safety within the village.

Looking Ahead

Upcoming village and committee meetings later in March will continue discussions on seasonal services, including park preparations and tourism-related planning as Elkhart Lake moves closer to its busy spring and summer months.

Residents are encouraged to stay engaged by reviewing posted agendas and attending meetings when possible.
