Wisconsin’s school funding system is doing better than other states. That’s according to a recently released Wisconsin Policy Forum report that ranks the state 16th in adequate spending and ninth in fair distribution, based on data from 2014.
The “School finance: Here vs. Elsewhere,” report from the public policy think tank comes out more than a month after the first meeting of a bipartisan legislative commission to examine school funding. Wisconsin schools get funding from a combination of state, federal, and local aid.
