Claim before the grants are gone

TELL SENATOR HOWARD MARKLEIN (R-Spring Green) that his 35% and 37.5% general special education reimbursement rates are a far cry from what’s needed. Tell the Senator to reimburse general special education by at least 60%. With a surplus of $4 billion in Wisconsin’s pocket, this can be accomplished with no additional increases for taxpayers! Lawmakers have repeatedly failed to fund special education at the appropriate rate. Sixty percent reimbursement would fairly fund schools for the specialized services they provide by law, but the Joint Finance Committee has only proposed 35%-37%. At that rate, our local schools must dip into general revenue to backfill special education costs. This harms all students and all programming in our schools, special education students or not, and may impede progress in future. Contact JFC Members in your area to support better special education funding at 60%, so all students can thrive. *** More details below in comments. *THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL POST ONLY.

📢 [PRESS RELEASE] Government of National Unity: Young children are non-negotiable The single biggest investment in early childhood development (ECD) in South Africa's history was going to be tabled in Parliament of the Republic of South Africa in the #2025budget speech yesterday, but in a dramatic turn of events, the budget speech was postponed until 12 March. Now, this much-needed funding for our sector is under threat! We need all hands on deck to ensure that National Treasury: 💰Follows through with its proposed injection of R10 billion into the ECD subsidy, increasing it from R17 to R24 per child per day, and R210 million into ECD infrastructure and registration support. 🍏Follows through with the increase in funding for the DBE’s early nutrition pilot, from R197 million in 2024/25 to R336 million in 2025/26. 👶🏼Follows through with plans to increase the child support grant from R530 to R580 per month from 01 April 2025, and commit to further increases to ensure parity with the food poverty line, currently R798 per month. ✊Ensures that revenue and spending proposals do not further burden low-income households. 🤱Supports the implementation of a double-discounted list of 10 budget-friendly food items to promote maternal and child nutrition.
