Good news for all who care about democracy! ONLY public schools accept and serve all students and are held accountable to taxpayers to make sure they do so responsibly. ALL schools that receive public funds should be held to the same standards of accountability and transparency.

I’ve spent my life fighting for Wisconsin’s kids. I’ve been a teacher, a principal, a superintendent, and the state superintendent. I know Wisconsin's kids and our schools—this decision would be catastrophic for them. There's no question. I’m sorry, but this is bullshit.

Want to lower property taxes? Pass a state budget with significant increases in ed funding! @wiscednetwork organized this powerful visual in the WI State Capitol, calling attention to two thirds of districts across state forced to go to voters for funding because politicians haven't done their job!

Trump order boosts school choice, but there’s little evidence vouchers lead to smarter students or better educational outcomes

Research suggests school choice programs have little effect on student achievement but worsen overall outcomes by draining money from cash-strapped public school systems.

We need to fix the broken state funding system. Don't believe the lies. If Wisconsin was adequately funding public schools, we wouldn't have to constantly raise local taxes to keep the lights on.

Like some James Bond movie villain, the Legislature has set up a diabolical game for citizens to play every election cycle with school referendums.
