School Consolidation Legislation Passes the State Assembly

Friday, November 21st, 2025 -- 8:00 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) School consolidation legislation passed the Wisconsin state Assembly on Wednesday.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, authors of the Republican bills that would provide incentives and grants for districts that consolidate or share grades say that would take the pressure off taxpayers who’ve increasingly been called on to fund schools through local referendums.

Democrats who oppose the measures argue Republicans have failed to adequately fund K-12 education for years, assuming the bills passed the state Senate early next year, they face likely vetoes from Democratic Governor Tony Evers.
