School
Funding Reform for Wisconsin is a volunteer grassroots organization
begun in 2010 by a group of concerned citizens in Stevens Point,
Wisconsin, and today we have members from the Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids
and Amherst areas as well. While we continue to work towards changing
the failed formula that has been used for the past 20 years to fund our
public schools, we are also focused on raising awareness in our
communities of efforts underway in Wisconsin and elsewhere to shift public school funding to private schools. We believe
the privatization of our educational system is wrong for our
communities and wrong for Wisconsin.
