Wisconsin’s state superintendent once again used her State of Education speech to press for more money for public schools.
Superintendent Jill Underly spoke at the Capitol yesterday. She said Wisconsin schools need more money for special education, mental health, and for teacher raises. She says public schools must do better. But Underly didn’t speak at all about the state’s struggling students and was silent about reading and math scores that show about two-thirds of kids can’t read or do math at grade level.
