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

Rock County content creator is bringing back the joy of waiting for the mail with her Midwest Mail Club

JANESVILLE — Today's world is as fast-paced as it's ever been. Nearly everything people want or need is just a few clicks away. But one Rock County content creator is hoping to bring back the excitement of checking the mail. Not email, but the kind that shows up in a box near the road. Morgan Geyer has built an online following through her creative projects and nostalgic content. She recently launched a monthly mail club that delivers a collection of vintage-inspired items, recipes, newspaper clippings and other surprises directly to subscribers. “I feel like people, especially right now, are just itching for nostalgia,” Geyer said. “I feel like people are just missing the physical aspect of things.” Geyer began creating content about four years ago after the COVID-19 pandemic prompted her to stay home with her young children. A longtime creative, she began sharing videos of the crafts and projects she was working on. As people began responding to her content, the hobby gradually developed into a career. Although she shares a variety of projects online, Geyer said nostalgia has become the focus of her content over the past two years. The idea for the Midwest Mail Club came from

Milton focusing on connectivity, safety in new parks plan

MILTON — In its new five-year outdoor recreation plan, the City of Milton is prioritizing connectivity, accessibility, safety and repairs. The proposed plan will be reviewed by the city’s Plan Commission and Common Council this Wednesday for approval. City Administrator Paul Hensch said the plan is crucial because it not only provides a roadmap for future park investments, but it helps the city prioritize limited funding and makes it eligible for state and federal grants. “Connectivity was one of the strongest themes we heard from residents,” Hensch said. “People want to be able to move more easily between their neighborhoods, parks, schools and other destinations.” The city hopes to preserve attractive areas for eventual park or recreational purposes, provide parks within walking distance of all new residential areas, emphasize family-oriented facilities within the parks, coordinate with area partners to provide services to residents via parks when possible and encourage expansion of county parks and recreational facilities in the Milton area. The work started in 2024 through public meetings and surveys, which were incorporated into the plan proposal. City staff also evaluated parks and had discussions with the Parks and Recreation Commission. As part of safety, accessibility and repairs, the city

More than 67,800 voters turn out in Rock County, making real turnout more than half of eligible voters

JANESVILLE — Despite rainy weather Tuesday, more than 67,800 voters cast ballots in Rock County’s Nov. 3 general election, an increase of more than 2,200 voters compared to the 2022 election. Rock County Clerk Lisa Tollefson said 67,812 voters cast ballots. That represents a little more than half of the 129,654 eligible voters in Rock County. Unofficial election results can be found on the Rock County website. Tollefson said the voter registration numbers displayed on the county’s website reflect registered voters as of 20 days before the election. Based on that figure of 97,850 registered voters, the turnout would be just under 70%. However, Wisconsin allows voters to register on Election Day, meaning the number of eligible voters can differ from the number of registered voters listed before the election. Tollefson said she noticed increased engagement during this year’s election, including a larger number of election observers. At Janesville City Hall, she said there were six observers. She said there was a steady flow of voters throughout the day. While there were occasional bursts of activity, turnout remained consistent. Tollefson also noted that absentee ballots were up this year and said she felt there was more overall engagement compared to
