Poll: Wisconsin voters prefer closing/consolidating schools to higher taxes

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin voters say that closing and consolidating schools is a better option than increasing local taxes and state taxpayer funding in a new Marquette Law School Poll. The poll found that 63% of voters preferred closing or consolidating schools to increasing taxes to keep them open. Democrats were the only subset of voters that disagreed with 56% of Democrats preferring increased taxes and 43% supporting closing schools. Republicans far preferred the option of closing and consolidating schools with 84% agreeing and 15% preferring a tax hike. The poll showed 72% of rural voters preferred closing and consolidating and 56% of suburban voters said the same with 64% of urban voters preferring that option. The survey was conducted Oct. 14-22, interviewing 818 Wisconsin registered voters, with a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points. The Wisconsin Assembly passed a package of five school consolidation bills last year but the Senate did not advance the measures. The five consolidation bills would have funded statewide and local feasibility studies, provided a one-time $1,500 per student bump to funding for schools that consolidate in a three-year window and provided bumps for whole-grade sharing and levy differentials. Bill sponsors positioned the

Retired English teachers step up to serve Prentice School District

Shortly before the 2026-27 school year was to begin, the Prentice High School English department found itself in a predicament. Two established middle and high school English teachers departed in early summer and the small, rural school was happy to find quality replacements just in the nick of time, with talented and experienced educators Marni Belan and Charles Kalmon. School District Superintendent and Grades 5-8 Principal Keith Crispell said that a transition like this is always a difficult one. He considered the task a huge obstacle to navigate. “Both our middle and high school English teachers decided late in the year to pursue different career paths,” Crispell said. Crispell is very satisfied with the results of the hiring process. The district did not anticipate with all confidence that they would be able to not only identify two qualified instructors. It was an added plus that the two were also originally from northern Wisconsin. “In an ideal world, hiring season would be in late spring, not late summer,” he said. “However, at the midnight hour we were fortunate to bring in two outstanding teachers.” Marni Belan, who lives in Phillips, is teaching middle school English and language arts to middle and
