| Abstract: | The state of Wisconsin made several changes to its state budget allocations for K–12 and higher education in its most recent 2025–2027 biennial budget. These funding changes have received mixed reactions. K–12 public schools, for example, will have access to expanded funding for special education but will see no increase in state equalization aid, the primary source of state general aid for K–12 public education. Higher education will receive increased funding following decades of state disinvestment. In an attempt to address educational priorities, Governor Tony Evers proposed significant increases in education funding through what he termed the "Year of the Kid" budget. Many of these proposals went unfunded and underfunded. The state did, however, continue its trend of funding property tax relief and K–12 educational alternatives, increasing its support for private vouchers and charter schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
