Board chairman urges outreach to lawmakers ahead of Joint Finance Committee K–12 vote
Summary
Board members were briefed that the state Joint Finance Committee will vote on K–12 education aids on June 12; the board encouraged contacting legislators and used a WASB template for outreach.
During the June 9 meeting the board’s legislative committee reported that the Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee scheduled a vote on K–12 education aids for Thursday, June 12, and urged local constituents to contact state lawmakers about district funding levels.
The committee report said Gov. Tony Evers met with GOP legislative leaders and that the Committee, which crafts the state budget, will decide funding levels that affect how much the district receives for the next two school years. Trustees discussed a WASB (Wisconsin Association of School Boards) template that lets constituents personalize and send messages to legislators; the board encouraged members of the community to use the tool before the committee meeting.
Board members moved to accept the legislative committee report. The recommendation was informational and the board did not take formal action beyond accepting the report at the June 9 meeting.
