With only a few weeks until the July 1 target date for budget signage, now is the time to make your voice heard.

  • Sign a letter to Governor Evers calling on him to reject any budget that does not meet Wisconsin's needs & priorities: sign on here.
  • Contact your legislators: It's time to connect with our own lawmakers across the state to tell our local stories and make sure they know what’s at stake for local students. This is about meeting kids’ needs and providing them with the conditions it takes to thrive in our public schools. Let them know you appreciate our public schools and expect an investment in the 2025-2027 state budget that puts kids first.
  • That meansa significant increase in spendable state aid (with an increase to revenue limits and aid aligned with priority needs) AND at least a 60% sum sufficient reimbursement for special education costs.
    • Phone: Call 608-266-9960 for the capitol switchboard and get connected to your representatives. Call 608-266-1212 to contact Governor Evers.
