Background:

According to calculations from the WI Legislative Fiscal Bureau, in 2023-24 the state has a positive budget balance of $4.2 billion with an additional $1.8 billion in the budget stabilization or "rainy day fund."
Student proficiency scores will be published in the weeks ahead and the attached articles provide important context for how the state dramatically raised the proficiency bar in the same year that it dramatically reduced resources for students. The attached article from the Wisconsin Association of School Boards provides some additional history. |
