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 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.
