The top man on the Assembly’s education committee says Wisconsin is not getting nearly enough return on the billions of dollars that taxpayers spend on public schools.
State Rep. Jeremey Thiesfeldt yesterday said new numbers from the Department of Public Instruction show that Wisconsin is spending more than ever on public schools, four-point-seven billion-dollars this year alone, but yet 60-percent of kids in public schools cannot read or add at grade level. Thiesfeldt says that kind of performance is not living-up to expectations.
