About the event
What’s Happening to Wisconsin’s Public Schools?
You’ve seen the headlines. Now get the facts and ask questions.
Join two education experts, Julie Mead and Christopher Saldana, for a timely, eye-opening conversation about how Wisconsin funds its public schools and what it means for rural communities like ours.
Learn how state and local funding work together, why school referenda keep coming back, how private school vouchers factor in, and what all of this means for students, families, and taxpayers.
Free. Open to the public.
Co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Public Education Network
