Hustisford School District to Dissolve, Citing Financial Strain
The Hustisford School District in Wisconsin will dissolve, marking the first such occurrence in 36 years. The district, facing financial difficulties and multiple failed referendums, will transfer its approximately 275 students to the neighboring Dodgeland School District.
Green Bay Appleton, WI, November 5, 2026 — Hustisford School District, located in Wisconsin, is slated for dissolution due to ongoing financial difficulties. This development marks the first time a school district in the state has dissolved in 36 years.
The decision follows a period of financial challenges faced by the Hustisford School District. Multiple referendums aimed at securing additional funding have failed, contributing to the district’s inability to continue operations.
As a result of the dissolution, approximately 275 students currently enrolled in the Hustisford School District will transfer to the neighboring Dodgeland School District. The specifics of this transition, including operational and administrative details, will be managed as the dissolution process moves forward.
The failure to pass referendums has been identified as a primary factor leading to the district’s closure. The lack of sufficient financial backing has made it untenable for the Hustisford School District to maintain its services and educational programs.
The timeline for the full dissolution and the complete transfer of students to Dodgeland School District was not provided. Information regarding the exact dates of closure or the implementation of the student transfer process has not been made public.
