Background:
|
The State is now sitting on an overall balance of $6 billion as it continues to underfund its own recommendations to support English learners, students with disabilities and students challenged by poverty. We anticipate an additional fiscal update in January of 2024.
The impact of state underfunding is highlighted in two recent reports from the Wisconsin Policy Forum and Forward Analytics which focus on teacher pay and the history of referenda in the state. Additional updates will be provided. |
