Friday, June 19th, 2015 -- 9:29 AM
-As the legislature prepares to act on the next biennial budget, there are several issues affecting public schools in Wisconsin.As advocates for children and public education in Wisconsin, area superintendents will hold a press conference to discuss several items that will have a profound effect on a school district's ability to meet students' needs in the coming year and in the foreseeable future.
They're holding a press conference at 2:00 p.m. on June 25th to explain these issues further. The press conference will be held at the Cooperative Educational Service Agency 10 office at 725 W. Park Avenue in Chippewa Falls.
As part of school districts' responsibility to rural Wisconsin communities, it is important for these issues to be brought to everyone's attention and a wide variety of topics will be covered. The current state budget and related legislative proposals would have significant and lasting negative implications for the school districts in Wisconsin. Area superintendents believe that sharing this information will raise citizen awareness of the decisions being made about their schools.
The time is now to voice your opinions to legislators. The superintendents ask you to please be active in advocating for local schools with the legislature and the governor. The future of public schools depends on your involvement.
