how do you define that for
yourself? What pressures
do you face being a guy in
the social construct of high
school or in your family?
How do you see the world
versus how does the world

She said they were very

To be very clear, demolition in
historic districts absolutely degrades
their character. Main Street is
the heart of this community, and
demolition of buildings on Main
Street erodes the character and
vitality of our city. Gaps left on
Main Street due to demolition
contribute to an unsightly, rundown
and neglected appearance.
Ultimately, this has adverse effects
of quality on life, tourist volume,
downtown businesses and property
values.
We should prioritize the
health of Main Street as a way to
ensure the health of our city. This
fundamentally begins with retaining
our historic buildings including

to Stoughtons unique character.

Waupaca 9, Icebergs 2
Stoughton got the shot total of its
opponent down a bit on Saturday, but
was still unable to find a way out of
three-goal deficit in the first period
on its way to a 9-2 non-conference
loss against Wauapca.
Kaitryn Olson scored a short-handed goal for the Icebergs 6 minutes
into the first period inside the Mandt
Community Center.
It did little to stem the tide for
Waupaca, which scored three times in
the first four minutes and then added a fourth goal midway through the
period.
Stoughtons even-strength goal
by Taylor Nisius early in the second
period made the game 5-2.
Waupaca scored three goals in the
second and a pair of goals in the
third.
Markie Ash lit the lamp four
times and assisted on three more for
Waupaca; her sister Cadie scored two
goals and assisted on another.
McKenzie Nisius stopped 34 shots,
while Anna Ryder stopped 18 of 20
for Waupaca.

Necessitating growth
The real issue in terms
of school finance, Wisconsin Taxpayer Alliance
research director Dale
Knapp said, is declining
enrollment.
One of the reasons you
really didnt hear a lot of
clamoring about revenue
limits for the first 10 years
or so is the vast majority of districts in the state
were growing, so more districts were able to get by,
he said. A lot of the angst
over revenue limits has
come over the last 10 or 15
years as more and more districts succumb to declining
enrollment.
Tying districts spending
to what it was more than 20
years earlier can put them at
a disadvantage, Knapp said.
Youre forcing down, to
some degree, the total revenue a district can bring in,
he said. The characteristics of districts can change
quite a bit over time.
J o n B a l e s , exe c u t ive
director of the Wisconsin
wistax.org
Association of School District Administrators, told
the Hub considerable blame
falls on the states failure to
fix its public school funding formula, which is based
largely on enrollment.
Districts that arent
growing arent able to
increase their spending
capacity, he said.
Imposing the levy limits
has created winners and
losers, tied to their spending status, Bales said,
with the state consistently
underfunding the formula,
and increasingly funding
private parochial/charter
schools with tax dollars.
SASD director of business services Erica Pickett
said in this era when residents of public school districts have to go more often
to referendums for funding,
the result can be increased
disparity in districts, based
on local support.
If one community votes
for it and supports it thats
great, she said. But if you
go to another district and
they dont vote for those
kind of levy increases, you
start to see a growing gap
between what kids in one
community have the opportunity to experience, compared to kids in another
community.
Bales called the level of
concern of school district
administrators significant
about how state cap freezes
are increasingly shifting the
burdens to local taxpayers,
who are seeing more school
district referendums than
ever.
Of course, the record cut
in aid associated with Act
10 started the spiral, Bales
said.
