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.
