Small Wisconsin school district to dissolve after voters reject referendum

(The Center Square) – The Hustisford School District, in eastern Wisconsin, is going away. Wisconsin’s School District Boundary Appeal Board on voted to dissolve the district. It is the first time since 1990 board agreed to close a school district. Hustisford has just 238 students in the entire district and has been losing students for years. The school district asked voters for a $4 million referendum in April, but it failed. Quickly after the election, Hustisford Schools then began the process of shutting down. The vote was the final step. Wisconsin's state superintendent blamed a lack of money, and how the entire state of Wisconsin pays for schools for the shutdown. "The Hustisford School District is a casualty of decades of an antiquated, broken school funding formula that has failed to keep pace with the costs of educating our children," State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly said in a statement. But Hustisford Schools were spending about the state's average per student. Budget numbers show Hustisford's budget was more than $6 million per year and show that the school spends about $22,000 per student. That's more than Wisconsin's state average of nearly $18,000 per student. Hustisford is in rural Dodge County, and

Underly Wants a Blank Check on Wisconsin School Funding

Less than 24 hours after Democrats won the governor’s office and both houses of the Legislature, State Superintendent Jill Underly was already reaching for the checkbook. Her Wednesday statement on Wisconsin school funding called the state formula “broken.” She said she was “optimistic about what the outcomes of yesterday’s election mean for the future of public education in Wisconsin,” and “hopeful we are in a position to make meaningful change.” You can read the full statement yourself. You won’t find a dollar figure in it, and you won’t find a word about who pays.

Edgar falters late as Wildcats bid for 4th consecutive state trip ends

EDGAR — Edgar's season and pursuit for a fourth consecutive trip to Madison for the football state championships came down to one final possession Friday night. The Wildcats had a chance to complete a late comeback against Lomira in a WIAA Division 6 Level 3 playoff game, but couldn't find the go-ahead points in a 16-12 loss. Edgar pulled within two when Landon Lukasko powered into the end zone with 7:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats attempted an option pass on the two-point conversion, but the attempt fell incomplete, leaving Lomira with a 14-12 advantage. SPASH XC snags 5th straight title: SPASH dynasty snags historic 5th straight title | WIAA XC championships It was the Wildcats second missed extra point of the game. Edgar's defense gave the Wildcats another opportunity, forcing a Lomira punt with less than seven minutes remaining. But the Wildcats' hopes of completing the comeback took another hit on the first play of their ensuing possession.
