After 34 years, Assata High School suddenly closing in November

Assata High School, which since 1992 has served Milwaukee students at risk of not graduating from high school, plans to close at the end of November because of low enrollment. The news came in a Nov. 3 letter from Tony Kearney, president of the board of directors for Assata, to Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius. The closure will be effective Nov. 30, he wrote. As a partnership school, Assata is run as a nonprofit by an independent board of directors, but it relies on a contract with MPS for funding and oversight. It offers credit recovery courses and career exploration. The Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to consider the mutual termination of its contract with Assata at a meeting Nov. 12 . In his letter to MPS, Kearney expressed "sincere regret" about the closure. "This decision was reached after careful consideration and is the result of declining enrollment over the past couple of years, a trend that has made it no longer possible to serve our scholars at the level they deserve," Kearney wrote. Assata has enrolled between 90 and 130 students each year for the past two decades, state data show. In 2024, enrollment dropped to 78, then

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
