(Bob Hague, WRN) Governor Tony Evers has announced he plans to propose a nearly two billion dollar increase for public schools in the next state budget.

The biggest ticket items and Evers proposed K-12 spending plan are increasing revenue limits by 350 dollars per pupil in the 2022-‘23 school year, and by 650 dollars in the following year.

He also wants to provide 800 million dollars in additional state aid to hold down the impact on local property taxes, and 750 million dollars for special education.

There's also a new categorical aid for mental health 240 million dollars, to ensure every K-12 district would have at least one full time staffer focused on mental health services.
