Antigo East Elementary School razed

ANTIGO — The aging East Elementary School was razed last week as the Antigo School District is coming closer to opening the new John H. Bradley Elementary School. In December 2025, the Antigo School Board voted to raze the vacant elementary school, which had a cost of about $150,000. The board and administrator decided on the option to raze the building to prepare the lots to eventually sell. During that meeting, Superintendent Glenda Oginski said three or four people did a walk through of the building, but “once they saw the condition of the building and the amount of money it was going to take to renovate it, even just to simply be a viable storage facility, no one was interested.” In order for the school to be properly razed, there were two separate jobs involved including asbestos abatement and the demolition itself. The district’s buildings were built in the 1960s and required infrastructural updates and upgrades to education. Oginski said during the December 2025 meeting, “The board wants to do what’s always fiscally responsible, but also it was very important to our board to make sure that we didn’t leave an eyesore of a vacant building. We didn’t want

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
