Background:
|
Though the Wisconsin State Legislature is out of session there are $5.6 billion of available funds at the state level – possibly more as new revenue updates come in. The state did not provide inflationary per pupil adjustments to support students throughout Wisconsin and the state is being outpaced by other states in investments in children.
On Friday, April 15, Governor Evers vetoed legislation that would have split Milwaukee Public Schools into 8 districts describing it as another attempt to politicize our schools and an unprecedented intrusion on local control. |
