We believe public schools are critical to the health and vitality of Wisconsin's communities. Public school funding is both a local and a state issue - while citizens can impact the local level directly (by electing school board members and talking with them, voting on referenda, etc.), some aspects at the local level are driven by state laws (state funding formulas and statutes, etc.). We oppose any efforts to privatize our educational system and we support the full implementation of State Superintendent Tony Evers' Fair Funding for Our Future proposal.
We do not defend or support any special interests or political parties. Like us on Facebook: School Funding Reform for Wisconsin SCHOOL FUNDING REFORM FOR WISCONSIN
