(JUNEAU) Two Dodge County school districts are holding crucial referendums on April 7. Dodgeland Superintendent Todd Greco told Daily Dodge the possibility of merging with Hustisford is one question he gets more than almost any other.
“It’s possible, but we don’t know if that’s ultimately going to be a good decision for Dodgeland or not, but our school board is open to that, and we are looking at it because it’s the prudent thing to do.”
The Hustisford referendum will ask voters to allow about $3.75 million in additional spending over two years. The goal is to buy time to explore options such as finding a sustainable long-term model, consolidating with another district, or dissolving.
Dodgeland district voters will be asked to exceed state-imposed spending limits by $700,000 per year for four years in order to maintain current staffing and program levels.
