You’ve seen the headlines. Now get the facts, and ask questions. Join two education experts, Julie Mead and Christopher Saldaña, for a timely, eye-opening conversation about how WI funds its public schools and what it means for rural communities. Learn how state and local funding work together, why school referenda keep coming back, how private school vouchers factor in, and what all of this means for students, families, and taxpayers.
