A gaggle of honchos sat on the stage at the Pabst Theater and asked Evers and the Legislature to pop school spending up.
...In their joint letter delivered Wednesday, the group called on Gov. Tony Evers and top lawmakers to use $700 million of the state's multibillion-dollar surplus to increase aid to schools, which were denied inflationary increases in the most recent state budget.
The group is asking for an additional $343 in state aid per student to keep up with inflation. They're also calling for state funds to reimburse schools at a higher rate for special education costs for students with disabilities, moving the rate from about 30% to 50%. ...
(Naturally, Pravda didn't mention the large not-inflation school-spend increase jammed through by Alberta Darling. That's not what Pravda does, ya'know.)
Here's how Vos should play this.
"We'll be happy to spend that money, if and only if school choice is extended to every resident of Wisconsin."
See how that plays.
