Wisconsin
Budget Project
The stated goals of the Wisconsin Budget Project include
providing accurate and timely information to the public
and to policymakers on vital fiscal matters, particularly
those that affect low-income families, and supporting
lively public debates on those matters. Project staff
testifies before legislative and other state bodies
and also works with local organizations to bring its
findings directly to the people. One of the Project's
areas of focus is education, and its reports, including
Senate
Task Force Takes Long View of School Finance
(September 2002), are available on its website.

The
Wisconsin Center for Education Research
The Wisconsin Center for Education Research, established
in 1964 by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, describes
itself as a research and development center with a commitment
to improving American education by studying the nature
of learning environments and their effects on students.
While the Center conducts research on an array of topics
pertaining to education, a primary focus is placed on
how educational processes and social policy can best
meet the needs of students from different cultural and
educational backgrounds. WCER conducts research, develops
educational products, participates in educational information
dissemination, and collaborates with other researchers,
as well as policymakers and practitioners in the educational
field.
