The Hustisford School District is receiving support from the Dodgeland School District, as Hustisford continues to go through the process of closing down the school district.

On April 7, during the spring election, a two-year $3.75 million operational referendum for Hustisford schools was voted down. 58 percent voted for it, while 42 percent cast their vote against the referendum. It is the fifth consecutive Hustisford Schools' operating or capital referendum since 2021 that failed to pass.

Hustisford Schools' Interim Superintendent Todd Bugnacki told WTKM that the future of the students is being considered.         

"When you think about the kids, it's about opportunities. It's an issue when you have shrinking resources, declining enrollment and funding at the state level is not keeping up. Those kind of pressure points have hit Hustisford and so now we have to think about what's the best path forward for our kids. We want to make certain that our kids are afforded the opportunities that kids have in other districts. We want them to have a soft landing through this entire process."

Bugnacki recently expressed his appreciation to Dodgeland Schools for adopting Hustisford as a neighboring district to work through and offer all of their students an opportunity in their district next year.

Under the tuition agreement, approved by both the Dodgeland and Hustisford Boards of Education, Hustisford students will be able to remain officially as Hustisford students during the school year of 2026-2027, including potentially, the final Hustisford High School graduating Class of 2027. Hustisford will transport its students to Dodgeland Schools, where they will receive a full education, including special education.

For those families who prefer to ask other neighboring districts to accept their children through the state's open enrollment program, the Hustisford Board of Education granted permission for neighboring districts to provide transportation to Hustisford students. Horicon and Mayville have indicated they wish to send their buses into Hustisford to pick up students approved for open enrollment.
