It is time to reinvest in public education and stop spending public dollars on unaccountable private voucher schools.
Why is this important?
In 2011, Governor Walker and the Republican Legislature passed a budget that contained the largest cuts to public education in Wisconsin history – $1.6 billion gone from our kids’ schools. Class sizes went up drastically. Quality after-school programs were eliminated. Good teachers were laid off.
This year, the governor’s proposed budget freezes public school spending, while increasing funding for unaccountable and unproven private voucher schools. Tell Governor Walker and the state Republicans to stand up for our kids and not special interests that want to profit on the backs of our future generations.
