Mequon-Thiensville School District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD) is a school district which serves the Milwaukee suburbs of Mequon and Thiensville, Wisconsin. The superintendent is Dr. Robert J. Slotterback, as of 2006.
The district is consistently ranked as among the best in the state of Wisconsin, with students scoring at profiencies well above average for the state. The district has a student-to-teacher ratio of 16 students per teacher. [1]
In recent years, the district has faced fiscal problems as enrollment started to decline and a new state formula was implemented in school funding. Voters rejected a $7.5 million budget increase in February 2006. [2] The district has hired its own fund raiser, former local television personality Dennis Krause, giving him the title of Community Resource Director.
