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

Central Wisconsin Christian claims first gold ball with sweep of Turtle Lake

ASHWAUBENON – A state championship win doesn't happen by accident and doesn't happen without fans sitting on the edge of their seats and cheering with no regard for how their voice may sound later. For Central Wisconsin Christian, it ended with fans watching a Kiley Beer serve hit the top of the net and drop to the floor. "I try to have a lot of confidence going back (to serve), but obviously there's a lot of pressure going back there on game point," Beer said. "I knew that I could do what I trusted. I've trained for this, I've prepared for this. "When I saw it go over the tape and go over, it just hit me and it was great." Central Wisconsin Christian, the No. 2 seed in the WIAA Division 5 state tournament swept Turtle Lake (26-24, 25-23, 26-24) to win its first state championship in school history. The 80-mile journey from Central Wisconsin Christian to the Resch Center, the biggest stage the state has to offer, to now state champions, started years ago. It started long before any of the girls who took to the floor on Saturday, Nov. 7 played a point of high school volleyball.

LAKE MILLS — Lake Mills head coach Tyler Huber called his seniors forward from a line of gleeful players. After receiving the sectional championship plaque from athletic director Justin Annen, Huber immediately passed it to the star-studded Class of 2027, which erupted in celebration and was soon got mobbed by their fellow teammates and the student section. Finally, after so much recent playoff heartbreak, Lake Mills is Level-4 bound for the first time ever. Senior quarterback Tyler Wollin threw five touchdowns as the top-seeded Lake Mills football team knocked off third-seeded Delavan-Darien 35-7 in a WIAA Division 4 Level 3 game on Friday at L-Cat Stadium. "Me and the rest of the seniors have been talking about being able to walk off this field for the last time having won but also being undefeated our senior year at home (7-0), which is really special," Wollin said. "Coach Huber talks all the time that you either have memories or regret. "When you work in the offseason, you're either going to be working toward memories or you're not going to be working and you'll have regrets when this is all over. Right now we're making memories, which is the coolest part." The

Is this the most popular history class at UW-Madison?

Growing up, my dad always had an array of classic songs he would play for my brother and I from when he was our age. But out of all the oldies, there is one song that has always been engraved in my memory: “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)” by the Beastie Boys. My dad showed us the music video and we quickly became obsessed, making the song a part of our daily routine. As I got older, I rarely listened to the song, and it just as easily became a distant childhood memory.
