(WHBL) – While Governor Tony Evers held a news conference to sign Wisconsin’s new shared revenue law on Tuesday, he didn’t bring as much attention to the other half of the deal.
The governor signed a new school funding law behind closed doors. The law will send one billion-dollars more to public schools in Wisconsin, but it also provides a huge boost for school choice funding.
That part has many Democrats angry, Milwaukee state Senator Chris Larson called for teachers and schools to fight the new law.
Meanwhile school choice supporters say the funding increase is one of their biggest victories in years.
