History In recent years, the district has faced fiscal problems as enrollment started to decline and a new state formula was implemented in school funding. After plans for a $7.5 million budget increase were rejected in February 2006, the district hired a local television personality Dennis Krause as a fund-raiser; giving him the title of Community Resource Director.Reid Epstein "Meet Me at School in the (Your Name Here) Cafeteria" Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, March 29, 2006, at A1
