Mequon-Thiensville School District

The Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD) is a school district that serves the Milwaukee suburbs of Mequon and Thiensville, Wisconsin. As of 2008, the superintendent is Demond Means.

The district has a ratio of 16 students per teacher.

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,[1] the district hired a local television personality Dennis Krause as a fund-raiser; giving him the title of Community Resource Director.[2]
