Dear New Glarus Parents and Residents,
Recently the funding of education has been making headlines around the state with the debate of the budget bill in Madison. Most recently, the Joint Finance Committee has put forward a 30-page education package that proposes the following:
* For the first time, Wisconsin will likely fall below the national average in per pupil spending.
* Wisconsin will have seen a 15% decrease in per pupil spending for public education since 2008.
* In the coming budget, public schools will have less state general aid than in 2010.
