WI lawmakers have heartlessly cut public school funding for more than a decade, forcing communities to go to referenda. Students deserve the best public schools no matter their zip code. We won’t accept another budget that starves students of the resources they deserve www.surveymonkey.com/r/BDPGJN5

MPS workers are holding walk-ins across the city before school day for International Workers Day to remind all that labor rights and immigrant rights are intertwined. Immigrant workers are the backbone of key industries—yet they face disproportionate exploitation, wage theft, & unsafe conditions.

Private voucher schools get 90% of their special education funding reimbursed while public schools only get 29%, which is unconscionable given private schools do not have to provide services to students with special needs and many "counsel out" students after they've collected state funding.
