Homeowners Petition to Leave the Waukesha School District

The fact that 66 out of 99 residents in the Meadowbrook Farms single-family home development in Pewaukee are willing to spend an average of $700 more in property taxes to leave the Waukesha School District says something about the disturbing trend in what the district is offering its families.

If the district and taxpaying voters in the district want to become more attractive to families moving into Waukesha County, they're going to have to find ways to reverse that trend and be willing to pay the price.
