THE WOLVERINE
From the Superintendent As we enter December and near the mid-point of the current school year, I want to encourage all students and staff to finish the
semester with your best efforts with Wolverine Pride. From this point through the start of winter break there are numerous dis-
tractions due to holidays and the possibility of weather related interruptions so focus on the important things will be critical. .
In the Fall numerous reports are due to the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE). The following summarizes and com-
pares select enrollment categories from 5 years ago:
Wilber Clatonia Public Schools
December 2018
2013-2014 2017-2018
K-12 Enrollment 554 (Fall of 2014) 599 (Fall of 2018)
K-6 Enrollment 298 (Fall of 2014) 334 (Fall of 2018)
7-12 Enrollment 256 (Fall of 2014) 265 (Fall of 2018)
Special Education Enrollment 13.3% 74 students 14.4% 86 students
English Language Learners Enrollment 4.1% 23 students 6.7% 40 students
Free/Reduced Lunch 29.6% 164 students 32.6% 195 students
In nearly every student category we have experienced significant increases during the past 5 years. Typically this means a
need for more resources in staff or special programs
The school district audit and annual financial report for the previous school year are complete and have been sent to the Ne-
braska Department of Education in the month of November. We have several funds to use as a school system however, near-
ly all operating costs and revenue flow through the “General Fund”. Some of our General Fund data follows. Again, I have
made comparisons to data from 5 years ago.
Expenditures have grown less than an average of 3% each of the past 5 years. Additionally, Wilber Clatonia budgeted over
$1,000,000 on special education for 2018-2019. This is the single fastest growing category in the General Fund. We do re-
ceive a reimbursement of approximately 52% of the allowable expenses. My first year as superintendent (2007-2008) the re-
imbursement percentage was 72%.
The District “needs” continue to grow as we educate more students. We are also obligated to serve more students in “risk”
categories. We receive less state aid and less reimbursement for special education as a percentage of costs. This equates to
a larger burden of the cost of educating students coming from local sources. My first year at Wilber-Clatonia (2010-2011)
55.8% of our expenditures were paid from local sources. In 2013-2014, 72.5% were paid from local sources. During the year
just audited 2017-2018, 81.1% of the Districts expenditures were paid with local sources. At the State School Boards confer-
ence I heard there may be a push to increase the amount of federal dollars available for special education. IF we could get our
state legislators to do the same I believe it would equate to much needed property tax relief in our area. Only time will tell if
our enrollment growth continues (essentially we have grown 1 grade in 5 years), however, if it does it will continue to impact
space requirements, program needs, staffing needs and overall resources required to operate. These are important consider-
ations as we continue to help students be the best people they can be

Wilber-Clatonia FBLA Tour Spreetail By Karlie Cerveny, Reporter
On Saturday, November 3rd, 10 Wilber-Clatonia FBLA members had the opportunity to tour Spreetail in Lincoln. Spreetail is an ecommerce company. The FBLA members learned their mission statement, which is to “make a dent in the universe by delighting millions of customers, creating opportunity and wealth for our team, and revolutionizing the communities we touch.” They got to meet some of the employees and learn tips on how to get hired for jobs. They also learned about the history and background of Spreetail, and how this successful business operates.
American Enterprise Day at Wilber-Clatonia
By Preston Lee, FBLA Parliamentarian and
Committee Chair
For American Enterprise Day this year, the elementary kids really enjoyed learning more about the enterprise system along with coloring pages including some facts. They also spent the whole day doing a scavenger hunt giving the kids business related clues trying to find the monopoly character. Our high school students were really involved in expanding in their knowledge in business and what it takes to run a business. We also did a scavenger hunt for the high school and it turned out to be a very successful day.
Wilber-Clatonia FBLA Attends Area Meeting
By Karlie Cerveny, Reporter
On Monday, November 12th, the W-C FBLA members attend-
ed an area meeting in Dorchester to discuss upcoming FBLA
events and the importance of career choices and businesses.
Crete FBLA members were also in attendance. There were two
guest speakers at the meeting. They both spoke about their ca-
reers, how to manage time, and many more interesting topics. The
W-C FBLA members also spoke with other students about what
they do in their community and school to promote FBLA and to help
organizations.
Wilber-Clatonia FBLA Hosts 5th Annual Dodgeball
Tournament
By Karlie Cerveny, Reporter
On Saturday, November 17th, W-C FBLA hosted their 5th annual dodgeball
tournament in the high school gym. The winning team included Nevaeh Honea,
Kailee Brandt, Elizabeth Kubicek, Karlie Cerveny, Michael Pulliam, Devin
Homolka, and William Chica. The dodgeball tournament was open to the com-
munity, and all entry costs were donated to The March of Dimes. The March of
Dimes is a “charitable organization committed to preventing birth defects and
infant death.” Saturday, November 17th was also Prematurity Awareness Day.
The tournament raised $125 for premature babies. On Friday, November 16th,
W-C FBLA sponsored a “Color Your School Purple Day” to support the March of
Dimes.

As part of an 8th grade Geography project my students have been studying plastic consump-
tion and recycling. We recently toured Wilber on recycling day and discovered that only 30%
of our city recycles. In an attempt to get more people to recycle we brainstormed some ideas
of how to reach out to our patrons. You may see posters around town and some articles in
the newspaper, all in an attempt to educate us on how easy and important recycling is.
Our goal is to tour the town in May to see if we have improved our recycling to 50%. We want
to thank you for being part of our initiative to save the environment. If you have ideas or
questions about our project please contact us at [email protected]
