A new report says public schools in Wisconsin are spending more per-student than just a few years ago.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty yesterday said the latest numbers from Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction show, when adjusted for inflation, public schools are spending nearly one-thousand-dollars more per student than a decade ago. The group says the numbers pop the myth that somehow Wisconsin is underfunding its classrooms. DPI’s numbers show schools are spending less than they were during the height of the coronavirus, when Wisconsin had billions of extra dollars to spend.
The latest report shows Wisconsin schools are spending an average of just under 18 thousand-dollars per student.
