State Budget Public Hearings Start Next Week
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 25, 2025
Reminder: The first two public hearings on the Governor’s 2025-27 state budget proposal begin next week. If you plan to testify, please reach out in advance.
All hearings run from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It’s best to arrive early, as lines often form before the doors open. Speakers are allotted two minutes to speak, while groups of three or more receive five minutes. Each person must submit a separate hearing slip. If testifying as a group, inform the Sergeant at Arms staff so they can staple your slips together when you submit them.
