New School-Fund Deal: Half-A-Plan

Apparently Sanfelippo and Stroebel (and perhaps Kooyenga?) have a plan.

More accurately, Half-A-Plan.

School districts that offer in-person instruction will be eligible to receive more federal funding than those who don’t under a plan approved by Republicans on the budget committee. 

The Legislature's budget committee approved the plan Thursday 11-4 along party lines. Republicans plan to distribute $65 million in federal funding to schools that offer in-person classes, calling it an incentive to open schools. 

“Reward districts that are open in person, because we have seen it can be done safely,” said Sen. Duey Stroebel (R-Saukville)....

"Reward" districts.

But never, never, never PUNISH districts who will not force Da Union to do its job.

This is simple:  reduce or eliminate State school aids to any District which will not force its "teachers" to work for their salaries beginning with the current (Fall '20) school year.

Can't do it retroactively?  No problem.  This is a budget year.
