Sweeping changes to the way we fund public education in Wisconsin are being fast-tracked through the legislature - and the changes are not good. Watch this space for videos, articles, and other materials to keep you as informed as possible about what's happening regarding the future of our kids' schools, and what you can do to Speak Up For Public Ed.
Videos to share
Below are some videos to share with allies about the immediate threats to public education. The first video briefly discusses what SB 330 is and why it's dangerous. The second talks specifically about the new dollars being spent on unaccountable private voucher schools as a part of the bill. The final video includes my comments on a Senate Democrats press conference prior to voting on SB 330 on June 14.
Further Reading
Below you will find a selection of documents to familiarize yourself with public education changes that are being proposed. Feel free to share them with allies and use them to inform you calls and emails to elected officials asking them to put public dollars toward public schools - not private operators.
