@LearningIn203 @WillFlandersWI Can’t speak to any particular situation - as the law has some flexibility for both traditional public schools and charters under LEA law.

@freewilly0306 @Knapp_D13 @yount1130 For the $300 million of state aid? 100%. Aid underneath the revenue limit serves one purpose - it lowers the levy, by law.

@EricJBott Correct on Pleva - strapped in the Captain’s chair to bring home a 13 seat swing. And a ton of miles on my sweet bench-seat Buick Century.

This is a perfect example of what the federal SGO program could help fund through tax-deductible scholarships. Too bad Gov Evers seems confused about its impact. Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith starts music program in Milwaukee https://t.co/3JjpAahFJ1 via @journalsentinel

I love this perspective as well

Really showcases how we are "catching" the moon with this trajectory

Governor Evers just vetoed Assembly Bill 602. This bipartisan effort would have allowed Wisconsin parents to access new educational scholarships at zero cost to the state. It is a massive missed opportunity for families earning under 300% of the median income.

On Saturday, Arizona will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 2001 under Lute Olson.

The same day, Iowa will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 1980, when it was coached by Lute Olson.

Among the key findings, independent charter schools have the highest median performance relative to demographic expectations of any school sector. Private choice schools also have significantly higher outcomes than predictions on average.

@ElectionCenter_ @joeminocqua “In contrast to the total votes both parties receive” has nothing to do with drawing districts. Gerrymandering is violating the guides of equal population districts that are Compact, Contiguous with like Communities in order to maximize partisan outcome.

Water covers 70% of the Earth.

The other 30% is covered by Connor Hellebuyck.

@BadgerStew @brewpackred That article is about a tax credit, not the income-limited voucher program. Two completely separate things.

[Jim Bender @JBenderWI]

Has a nice ring to it…lol.

@1in5advocacy Lucy Calkins and Teachers College earned an estimated $2 billion or more from their "guess-the-word" programs. It amounted to a smash-and-grab operation on public education funds, with no accountability for their educational malpractice.
