There’s a new report that Republicans say shows that Wisconsin is spending more money than ever on public schools.
The report from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau came out last week, and shows the state spent over seven-and-a-half billion-dollars on state aid for public schools last year. That’s up from seven-point-three billion in 2020, and seven-point-three billion in 2019. The report also comes as the state’s Department of Public Instruction gets ready to release its state aid numbers for this year. Those will come out later today.
Republican State Senator Duey Stroebel says the numbers burst the myth that Republican lawmakers have underfunded public schools in Wisconsin.
