Senators Fitzgerald, Shilling on K-12 Education Funding
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | April 13, 2015
From WisPolitics:
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says he expects any bumps in projected state revenues for the upcoming budget will help boost K-12 education.
The Juneau Republican told “UpFront with Mike Gousha” legislators are committed to fully funding K-12 schools in the first year of the budget and predicted improved revenue would allow for an increase in the second year.
But the Senate’s Democratic leader, Jennifer Shilling of La Crosse, argued for funding public schools over a Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed expansion to the state’s voucher program. Shilling said a majority of Wisconsin students attend public schools.
“We need to make sure that we have strong schools regardless if you live in a small school district, an urban school district, or a suburban school district,” Shilling said on the program, produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com.
