Do you understand the difference between a capital vs operational school funding referendum? Almost every public school district across Wisconsin has held a referendum in the last 20 years due to the school funding crisis – get the facts on how they work: www.jsonline.com/videos/news/...

Every operational referendum represents a school district that was forced to ask their communities to raise their own property taxes just to fund essential services like buying textbooks or hiring a special education teacher. Join our effort 📚 fundwipublicschools.org/join

The needs of Wisconsin students will NOT be dismissed ❌ Most WI lawmakers responded to the lawsuit to fund our public schools with a motion to dismiss – intended to avoid accountability, not solve the school funding crisis for WI students.
