SCHOOL FUNDING REPORT SUGGESTS DROP

SCHOOL FUNDING REPORT SUGGESTS DROP

A new report says Wisconsin schools will get less money next year than they did in 2011.

The left-leaning Wisconsin Budget Project yesterday said that inflation-adjusted state aid to schools is down about one percent from a decade ago.

The group says that doesn’t include the billions of dollars that local taxpayers have agreed to spend on schools, or the money that Wisconsin is spending for school choice programs. The Budget Project says lawmakers chose to cut taxes over the past decade, rather than spend more on schools.
