Stoughton has become

the first no hit zone
city in Dane County.
On all city properties
and in all city facilities,
city staff and others are
encouraged to intervene
and stop people from
striking another person,
regardless of their relationship.
The program, adopted
by the Common Council
at its Aug. 23 meeting, is
part of a national movement to end corporal
punishment because
of what are seen as the
detrimental (sometimes
life-long) psychological
effects of physical violence.
Ald. Mike Engelberger, chair of the Public Safety committee,
brought the motion to the
council in a resolution
proposed by the Dane
County District Attorneys office. The council
adopted the idea unanimously.
Stoughton police chief
Greg Leck supported
the concept and drafted the citys resolution.
Leck told the council the

Security measures, expanded Fab Lab among additions

When it comes to educating kids,
keeping them safe is the first priority.
And safety is at the top of the list
of new additions in the district for the
upcoming school year, with significant
changes to how visitors will be able
to access school buildings. Inside the
schools, there are also plenty of new
items for educating students, including
testing a science curriculum ahead of
full implementation in 2017-18, expansion of the digital fabrication laboratory (Fab Lab) to River Bluff Middle
School, and continued focus on schoolto-career programs.

There are also some changes within

the classroom that can affect the district on a larger scale, as the continued enrollment decline now reaches
Stoughton High School.
Here is more detail on the Hubs
choices for five things to watch this
year in the Stoughton Area School District:
1. Secured building entrances

There are a pair of new policies
around the district this year that administrators hope can increase security
within school buildings.
One new protocol this year is all
school building doors will be locked
during the school day. People visiting
or students arriving late during the

school day will enter a set of doors into
a vestibule with a small camera and
buzzer to alert the main office of their
arrival. Visitors will wait for an office
staff member to buzz them into the
office.
Once there, first-time visitors will
present ID to a staff member. If its
their first visit to that school, their ID
will be scanned into the Raptor system, which collects the photo, name,
date of birth and first four digits of the
license number on the identification to
perform an instant sex offender registry
check.

With a courts approval last week of the citys

offer to purchase the
MillFab property, the
Common Council acted to prepare for initial
steps leading to a major
redevelopment project.
The council last Tuesday, Aug. 23, approved
t h e c i t y s o f f e r o f
$750,000 for the MillFab property, located
between the Yahara River and South Street. The
council had previously
approved a $700,000
offer for the roughly
6-acre property, but a
court-appointed receiver for MillFab rejected
the offer. The city then
increased it by $50,000,

court approved.
The citys offer is contingent upon the results
of a second environmental study of the parcel

Natural Resources will
conduct to determine
the extent of contamination on the site. If contamination is discovered

Leah Huchthausen, 12, spends time with two of her new Targhee sheep at her farm in the Town of Dunkirk on Aug. 17.
While most kids her age ask for

toys, 12-year-old Leah Huchthausen
wants sheep. Shes hoping lambs will
be born on her birthday, Jan. 2, on her
familys farm in the Town of Dunkirk.
And its very possible that will happen, because she just bred one of the
wooly sheep she won in July as part
of a starter flock through the U.S. Targhee Sheep Association.

Leahs mother, Melanie, has affectionately named that particular yearling Gladys.
Its a big name for a big lady,
Melanie said.
Targhee breeding ewes can weigh
up to 200 pounds, and rams can get
even larger. But right now, Gladys towers over her mate Walter

Stoughton Hospital dino bed finds good home

Bed donated to
Camp Wawbeek
When Stoughton Hospital recently began an estimated $13.2-million renovation of its emergency
care department, officials
realized they would need to
find a new home for their
dinosaur bed.
Over the years, the dinosaur bed provided comfort
for thousands of pediatric
patients visiting the ER,
according to a hospital
press release. The bed was
donated by the Partners of
Stoughton Hospital during
a previous renovation.
Stoughton Hospital
Foundation Director Mary
Link, who has a son with
special needs, had a solution. Her son has been a
frequent visitor to Camp
Wawbeek in Wisconsin
Dells, and Link contacted staff from the Easter
Seals Wisconsin, which
operates the camp. They
were excited to adopt the

Stoughton Hospital dinosaur.
Camp Wawbeek aims
to promote independence,
challenges and fun among
its campers, according
to Easter Seals. Many of
the campers who attend
are the only ones in their
school with a physical disability, and the camp provides them with a social
network. For the family, it
also provides what is often
a much-needed break from
what is often around-theclock care.
Link said the hospitals
partners and emergency
room staff are thrilled
to know their dinosaur bed
has found a good home and
will help comfort campers
in the future.
It was a win-win for
both Stoughton Hospital
and Camp Wawbeek, Link
said.

Council approves
Stoughton Opera
House job changes
One employee
promoted to full-time
Salary
ranges
BILL LIVICK
The Common Council

last week approved new job
descriptions and pay ranges
for employees who run the
Stoughton Opera House.
The three positions that
run the venue also have new
titles: Opera House director, house manager, and box
office manager/volunteer
coordinator.
The position that used to
be titled event coordinator,
and held by Christina Dollhausen, has been changed to
house manager. That job is
vacant and has been posted
on the citys website, with
a Sept. 7 closing date for
applications.
The citys director of
Human Resources and
Risk Management, Amy Jo
Gillingham, said she and
the Personnel Committee
pulled some of the duties
from Opera House director
Bill Brehms position and
some from Dollhausens and
built the house manager and
box office manager positions.
Under the new arrangement, Julie Blaikie has been
promoted from part-time to
full-time status and becomes
the box office manager/volunteer coordinator. She had
been an assistant to Brehm
and Dollhausen.
Gillingham told the Hub
the Opera House has been
understaffed. She said the
new job descriptions and
responsibilities would allow
the venue to remain successful.
This sets the Opera
House up for future success, she said. Weve been
understaffed, and this new

Total estimated cost
with benefits: $89,557
House manager
$46,468 $61,201
Total estimated cost
with benefits: $73,552
structure allows Bill and
his staff to grow the Opera
House well into the future.
The council adopted the
new staffing structure and
job descriptions at its Aug.
23 meeting.
Brehm told the council the
new positions wont affect
the city budget because salary increases will be covered
by Opera House revenues.
Christina leaving gave
us an opportunity to change
o u r s t a ffi n g s t r u c t u r e ,
Brehm said. There will be
no increase in the citys allocation to the Opera House in
2016 or 2017.
Brehm also serves as the
citys media services director.
In budget discussions,
Mayor Donna Olson has
said she hopes to eliminate
the media services position
and replace it with an information technology position
or entire IT department. The
council will decide whether
to adopt Olsons idea during
the upcoming 2017 budgeting process.

Hitting: Police chief Leck drafted resolution

Continued from page 1
police department is excited about
this program and said the department would train city staff in effective ways to intervene to stop hitting.
Leck said no-hit zones can be
effective in breaking the cycle of
violence.
I look at this as an opportunity for
Stoughton to take the lead and start
the conversation, Leck said. We
already have laws on the books that
deal with violence. This empowers
employees to intervene and not be
hesitant. This enables people to have
a conversation about violence.
Leck said its often a judgment
call by law enforcement when corporal punishment rises to the level of a crime. City police decide
whether to recommend charges,
and the District Attorneys office
determines whether to press charges

against someone for striking another
individual.
Stoughton resident Amy Brown,
director of the Victim Witness Unit
in the DAs office, explained the
importance of the no-hit zone idea
and said District Attorney Ismael
Ozanne embraced it in 2014.
The Dane County District
Attorneys office in Wisconsin has
received national recognition for
becoming a No Hit Zone, according to the website for the national
no hit zone movement, which began
at Rainbow Babies and Childrens
Hospital in Cleveland in 2005.
City officials plan to put up signs
declaring city properties a no hit
zone, similar to no smoking signs.
Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4) expressed
the only opposition to the resolution
not because of its goal, which he
supported, but because the idea of

He voted in favor of the motion,
but at the end of the meeting asked
the council to reconsider it. He then
attempted to remove the no hit
zone language from the resolution
and instead make the entire city a
no hit city.
Leck and others said they appreciated Selsors intent, but most felt his
idea would have the effect of undermining the effort because it would
be overly broad and thus lose the
focus of the program.
Just having the signage up will

After hearing other opinions, Selsor was persuaded and withdrew his

parents; two brothers, Marlowe
and Stanton; and Ann, his wife of
53 years. On Oct. 4, 2008, he married again to Virginia Chickey. She
survives him along with her large
and welcoming Kaas and Chickey
families. Virgil and Anns children
are Kara with Kirk of St. Paul,
Kathleen of Madison, Kristi with
Wes of Las Vegas, Tim with Lois
of Mason, Michigan and Tom with
Lynne of Madison. Five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren
also survive.
Central to his life was his deep
and abiding faith in his Heavenly
Father; he often told us how he felt
blessed. And many have been blessed through him. His was a life full
of love and service to others.
Virgil was an avid sportsman,
enjoying fishing, hunting and especially golf. High school sporting
events held a great attraction for
him. Perhaps most of all, he loved
to dance, especially on Friday
nights at the Stoughton VFW.

He greatly enjoyed the company
of young people, often serving as
a Big Brother or mentor. Working
with and encouraging members and
state officers of the FFA was one of
his greatest joys. For many years he
made weekly visits with the men at
the Dane County Jail.
His family and friends will
remember him as a world-class
(occasionally amazingly noisy)
sleeper. We were awed by his ability to talk along with his beloved
World War Two movies.
Funeral services were held Friday, Aug. 26 at First Lutheran
Church. Burial took place at Lower
Running Valley Cemetery in Colfax
on Saturday.
During his lifetime, Virgil was a
generous supporter of First Lutheran Church (310 E. Washington St.,
Stoughton 53589), Gideons (gideons.org), The Alzheimers Association (2820 Walton Commons,
Suite 132, Madison 53718), and
the National FFA Foundation (FFA.
org).
The family is grateful to the team
members at Azura for their kind
care over these last months, and to
Agrace HospiceCare workers, who
have cared for Virgil and us since
April.
We miss him already, but now he
will be everywhere we are.

Sheep: Huchthausen plans to breed two more ewes in September and show the others
Tending her flock

As a 4-H member, Leah
has learned the importance
of hard work and responsibility while juggling different projects. She has shown
swine and poultry over the
last four years, and this year

was her first time showing

sheep. She looks forward to
showing her Targhee sheep
next year.
She has already laid
out a plan for their care,
feeding and showing and
is eager to make such a
plan come to life, Triangle
Troopers co-general leader
Laurie Schellinger said in a
news release.
T h e s eve n t h - g r a d e r s
homeschooling schedule
allows her to wait until 8
or 9a.m. to give the sheep
water and feed them grain.
They get fed twice a day
(next at supper time) and
her family members help

out, too.
The care of the sheep
would be part of my daily schedule, Leah said.
I would work with them,
making sure they are
healthy and have feed and
water.
The chore she can skip
is giving the sheep baths.
Because of the quality of
their wool, Targhee sheep
should avoid getting wet
and washed.
Leah plans to shear her
five sheep in winter, and all
of that wool could exceed
60 pounds total. She said

Targhee sheep are durable, so going without a

coat during cold months
wouldnt bother them
much.
Her next steps are to
breed two more of the ewes
in September and enter the
other two in the national
futurity program.
She really enjoys her
animals and works well
with them, Melanie said.

When Leah, who has

been a member of the Triangle Troopers 4-H Club
for the last seven years, saw
the application for a Targhee starter flock posted on
the Dane County 4-H website, she was hooked. She
knew she was interested
in raising the sheep from
start to finish expanding
her flock, showing and selling them.
This spring while waiting
for muskie to bite on a fishing trip with her dad, Leah
received the phone call that
she had been waiting to
reel in for months. She was
selected to receive three
ewes at the USTSA National Show and Sale in Arlington, July 14-16.
During that weekend,
Leah also took fourth in
junior showmanship, and
she helped other exhibitors
show their animals.
The sheep were donated by Drs. Rod and Lana
Kuenzi of Waukesha, Jeff
and Leslie Nevens with
A&J Nevens Livestock of
Lodi and Bud and Thelma
Beastrom of Pierre, S.D.
The USTSA (through donations from its members
and an auction held at the
national show) gave Leah
$750 toward that purchase
of another ewe, and the
Huchthausens purchased a
fifth.
We are very thankful for
the generosity of all of the
families, Melanie said.
Leah has been attending
many sheep-related 4-H
educational programs over
the past year and is already
signed up to attend more
in the future, including one
through the University of
Wisconsin in December
that features shearing.
Leah has thoroughly
enjoyed having her sheep
so far, Melanie said in an
email to the Hub. She has
already spent countless
hours with them.
Targhee sheep are hardy enough to withstand the elements while producing high
quality lamb and wool for market.
They have heavy white fleeces, and their
wool is typically longer than 3 inches after
growing for a year.
The sheep are also large. Mature rams
weigh up to 300 pounds, and breeding ewes
weigh between 140-200 pounds.
You wont spot any horns on Targhee
sheep, though, as they are a polled (naturally
hornless) breed.
If you need accommodations

to attend this event, please call

pigs and goats.

These guys are nice,
Leah said in regards to her
new sheep. Goats, on the
other hand, are on the top of
her naughty list.
Still, even some of the
Targhee sheep including
other breeds that Leah and
her younger sister, Kate,
show at the Stoughton
Junior Fair and Dane County Fair goofed around and
leapt over hay bales in the
barn.
But the sheep didnt wander far, even with the doors
wide open.
Theyre communal animals, Melanie explained.
If one is left behind,
theyll make a huge racket.
Leah has noticed they
also talk to dad, meaning the sheep start making
noise when her father, Paul,
enters the building.
The barn leads to a pasture, which the Huchthausens intend to expand so the
animals have more room to
graze.
Its the size of the work in the machine. Which, by that

measure, makes the G-Series as big as they come.
And thats by design. More specifically, your design.
Skid steer owners and operators like you spent years,
side by side with John Deere engineers, to generate
bigger fuel capacities, bigger boom breakouts, bigger
serviceability, bigger durability even radial models
for working in low buildings and doorways. With all
that input, no wonder these small machines provide
maximum output. Learn more stop in or call today.

Our Brother Jesus

Saint Augustine refers, in one of his sermons, to Jesus
as our brother and reminds us that Jesus became our
brother out of merciful goodness. If Jesus is the son of
God and we call God our father then it follows logically
that Jesus is our brother. God is both our spiritual and
metaphysical father because he is the source of our existence. Gods choosing to come to earth and put on human
flesh in the person of Jesus makes him our brother in the
metaphysical sense that we share the same physical constitution, and the teachings of Jesus, as revealed in the
Gospels makes him our spiritual brother. Jesus speaks
so convincingly to us in the spiritual realm because he is
truly human and truly divine, and he reminds us that we
all have the spark of the divine within usthe kingdom of
heaven is within us (Luke 17:21). But he also tells us that
those who hear the word of God and put it into practice
are his brothers (Luke 8:21). So remember that you have
a brother in heaven who is also close at hand, ready to
help in times of trouble and a sure guide on our journey
home. Brother Jesus, keep us safe in your care and guide
us to our heavenly home.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Both the one who makes people holy and those who
are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not
ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.

Fo u r t y t h r e e s e c o n d s
was all that separated
seniors Owen Roe, Garrett
Model and Tristan Jenny for the Stoughton boys
cross country Saturday at
the Jamie Block Invitational in West Bend.
Roe led the pack with
his best run in two years
with a time of 17 minutes,
4 seconds for 17th place,
while Model finished 16
seconds back in 26th place
with a time of 17:20.
Both Model and Roe
medaled by placing in the

both did a fair amount
of wrestling this summer
and should take a bit to
get fully into the swing
of running fast distance
again, head coach Patrick
Schneider said. I have
confidence that they will
be in top form within a few
weeks.
Junior Carson Fleres
(18:11) finished 64th and
sophomore Parker Flint
(18:23) placed 75th as the
teams final score.
It is hard to predict how
we will be by the end of

We really need two more
guys to step up and run
in the low 17s in order to
place well in conference
and sectionals.

five scorers finished a little over a minute apart,
it wasnt quite enough to

crack the top five as the
Vikings finished seventh
(out of 20 teams) with a
total time of an average
of 17:45 per varsity scorer.
R o o k i e s N i c k Wa l k er (10th grade) and Tyler
Kalagian (ninth grade)
both ran great first 5Ks
and have a ton of potential
as they learn how to run
distance races.
K a l l a g i a n a n d G av i n
Model both medaled by
placing in the top 15 freshmen overall.
I was happy with our
performance, Schneider
said. Conditions in West
Bend were not ideal, but I
heard very little complaining. As long as we keep
working hard in races and
practice, good things will
happen for this team.
Neenah ran away with
the title, placing all five
varsity scores in the top
19. The Rockets were
nearly a minute-and-a-half
faster than second-place
Sun Prairie with a cumulative time of 1:23.04.
Sun Prairie (1:24.29)
and Green Bay Preble
(1:24.42) rounded out the

Vikings look to capitalize on move to D2

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton girls swimming returns to

Division 2 this season after competing
among some of the states fastest teams
in the Middleton section for nearly two
decades.
Overall, this move is an appropriate
one for the current program we have in
Stoughton, head coach Katie Talmadge
said.
She should know Talmadge (formerly
Katie Liebmann) was a junior on the last
Vikings D2 team back in 1999.
We made the move to D1 the fall of
2000 my senior year and just to give
some perspective on the move, I had to
drop seriously significant time to not
only to qualify, but to get the same places on the podium that I had gotten my
junior year in D2, she said.
Rather than being deterred by the
move, Talmadge said it was a huge motivator for her and she hopes the same can
be said for her team.
Since November of 2000, we have
only been able to send two girls to state
Meghan Carmichael in 2009 and Greta Welsh in 2011 and 2012, she said.
Junior Maddie Kooima looks to benefit from the move immediately and give
the Vikings another state qualifier.
Maddie made excellent strides as an
athlete and in her personal life during
her sophomore season, Talmadge said.
She comes back to us this year with a
strong offseason competitive club experience under her and a developed sense
of team pride as well as maturity and
class.
She has a good chance of making D2
state this year in whatever she sets her
mind to.
Kooima finished a team-best 11th
place last year at sectionals in the 200yard IM and 13th in the 100 backstroke.
Senior captains Bella Lenz and Ashley Foss also are back at leaders.
Bella is a lead by example swimmer
who is having fun organizing the girls
and making the new ones feel welcome,
Talmadge said. Ashley is leading by

With the Division 2 move, we can

Hopefully, in the coming years, we
can build a strong enough program in

The best way to build our program,
though, is to look to our youth club

Stoughton 6, Monona Grove 1

Stoughton finished the Dane
County Invitational only a half a

Tuesday the Vikings wanted to put
a little more distance between themselves on the road at Ahruska Park.
Nelson and Robson helped

Stoughton do just that, closing out
a 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 win at No. 2 doubles
that wrapped up a 6-1 victory for the
Vikings in their Badger South debut.
Stacy Benoy executed her game
plan to sustain long rallies and came

Her older sister, Sarah Benoy,
found herself tested by MG freshman Hailey Munz, who had been
playing No. 2 singles, atop the lineup.
Hailey has a lot of weapons and
pressured Sarah into some mistakes,
but it was nice to see Sarah come
back and play better in the second
set, head coach Ryan Reischel said.
Brekken fell 6-1, 6-1 to the Silver
Eagles regular No. 2 singles player
and state qualifier Amanda Newman.
Lydia played JV last year, so the

We have two incredibly talented
player at No. 1 doubles, but no one

Swim: Stoughton travels to Oregon Tuesday to open conference season

program. The STAR swim team is on a rise at
the moment, and Im looking forward to our
current and future high school swimmers benefiting from their success.
Perhaps the Vikings biggest coup this season will be the return of senior Averie Ness,
who took her junior off to recover from chronic injuries.
We are happy to have Averie back this year;
shes an excellent, approachable role model
for our younger/newer swimmers, Talmadge

said. She loves the technique and science
behind swimming, and her ability in the water
comes natural to her.
We look forward to watching her enjoy the
sport again this year.
Senior Caroline Wacker also took her junior
year off.
Were lucky to have Caroline back this
year, Talmadge said. She has been an excellent role model for our junior varsity team.
Freshman Molly Patrinos swam competitively with STAR for several seasons and could
contribute immediately to the team.

Rachel Stepp, Natalie Zientek, Nadia Dedie,
Alexandra Lightner, Rihanna Sperloen, Morgan McGee and Braelyn Birdsill should also
help out.
We have an excellent group of newbies this
year, Talmadge said. Were so happy to have
these girls try us out; theyve all shown amazing humility, positive attitudes and work ethic.
Swimming is a complex, difficult sport to
learn and these girls are doing it in record time.
Were honored they chose us this fall.
Conference
Madison Edgewood, Monona Grove and
McFarland once again expect to be fastest
teams in the Badger South.
They have all excellent local club teams
that feed them experienced, fast swimmers, Talmadge said. We have a very
competitive conference. Were happy to
have not just the competition, but were
grateful for the wonderful sportsmanship
amongst the teams. It was a joy to host

After district officials and
teachers spent the past several years studying new textbooks and other resources,
the Next Gen Science Standards program was adopted by the school board last
month.
The new program uses

curriculum Judy Singletary.

She added that 90 percent of
the materials needed with the
new science curriculum can
be purchased at local stores
the rest must be ordered from
specialty sites like National
Geographic.
During the upcoming
2016-17 school year, teachers must use the new curriculum for at least one unit,
though Singletary said she
expected full implementation of the program going
forward.
According to a district
news release, the goal of the
new science curriculum is to
ensure by the end of 12th
grade, all students have some
appreciation of the beauty
and wonder of science; possess sufficient knowledge of
science and engineering to
engage in public discussions
on related issues; are careful consumers of scientific
and technological information related to their everyday
lives; are able to continue to
learn about science outside
school; and have the skills to
enter careers of their choice,
including (but not limited to)
careers in science, engineering, and technology.
Programming for the
Stoughton High School digital fabrication laboratory
(Fab Lab), which has been
popular for students and a
selling point for the district,
was expanded this summer
to include middle schoolers.
The lab, with the addition of
two staff members this summer, now has five instructors
from the fields of technology,
math, physics, art and science.
The lab will feature some
new technology for this
school year, including a new
laser, which Fab Lab coordinator Mike Connor said
is more powerful and a
lot larger than our current
lasers.
It will help eliminate
the wait time for students in
class and puts the latest in
laser technology in the hands
of our students, he said.
The lab will also have a
different look this year, with
the installation of three large
windows to bring more sunshine and natural light to
make the lab brighter and
more comfortable for everyone, Connor said. The lab
will also feature new banners

in the hallway to direct people to the lab, as the district
regularly hosts community
workshops and open houses
there.
No more lost community
members, he quipped.

4. Enrollment decline
continues
with last years 4K class also

well below the kindergarten
class size of 195.
Only one class last years
fifth-graders was as large
as any of the four classes that
will attend high school this
year.
5. School-to-career
program
Its not always easy for
teenagers to figure out what
they want to do with the rest
of their lives. But finding a
career for Stoughton High
School students has been a
lot easier for many through
the help of Cindy Vaughn
and the schools growing
school-to-career program.
Good jobs can be hard to
find in many sectors, but one
area that is experiencing not
just growth, but a boom, is
the skilled trades. Electricians, sheet metal workers,
heavy equipment operators,
plumbers, bricklayers and
iron workers are in high
demand, and at Stoughton
High School, students interested in these jobs are being
prepared for success after
school through classes.
Last school year, the
school also had 14 students
working as youth apprentices, which was by far the
most its ever had in its four
years of existence, Vaughn
said, noting that number will
almost certainly increase this
upcoming school year.
In the one-year program,
high school juniors or seniors
must have at least 450 hours
of work-based learning and
two semesters of related
classroom instruction. The
two-year program requires
up to 900 hours of workbased learning and four
semesters of classroom-related instruction.
The apprenticeships are
paid work experiences
through the program, developed in 1991 and administered through the Department of Workforce Development. Area employers have
included Cummins Filtration, Isthmus Engineering,
Mandt Equestrian, Chalet
Veterinary, Associated Bank,
Eugsters Farm Market and
Screamin Acres.
While budget deficits and

enrollment declines are not
always related, the Stoughton Area School District
has experienced both for
decades.
In the 2001-02 school year,
the Stoughton Area School
District enrolled 3,607 students. Last year, that number
was down to 3,152, including
167 students in 4K, which
the district started a few
years ago. The district is also
losing students due to open
enrollment, with 67 coming
into the district last year and
188 going out, for a total
loss of 121. The district has
seen its enrollment decline
every year, save one, since
September 2002, according
to online numbers from the
state Department of Public
Instruction.
The declining numbers
spell financial trouble for the
district, as its reimbursed
per pupil by the state, so as
enrollment drops, so does
revenue. In the past, the district has cut staffing and programming and even closed a
school (Yahara Elementary)
to save money, but options
are running out.
Last year, district director
of business services Erica
Pickett said there was some
encouraging news on enrollment, noting that the districts net loss of students on
a yearly basis has been getting smaller, dropping from
66 to 38 to 28 in the past
three school years.
