http://newiprogressive.com/images/stories/S5/walker-school-promise-s5.jpg MADISON - Rural schools in Wisconsin need and deserve increased sparsity aid and revenue relief. They needed and deserved it in 2014 when the Speakers Task Force on Rural Schools recommended it. And they needed and deserved it last fall when GOP budget-writers eliminated sparsity aid hikes and the Governor vetoed relief for low-spending districts less than four months ago.
We’ve already missed a school year because of Republican delays and Republican priorities. And too many students, families and schools that were promised relief in the budget Republicans just passed four months ago won’t see it from this latest Republican promise. **** *Rep. Pope served on the Task Force on Rural Schools that recommended changes to sparsity aid eligibility. http://thewheelerreport.com/wheeler_docs/files/0506taskforcereport.pdf |
