What’s at stake for Wisconsin students and public schools in the crucial Supreme Court Election?

Every child in Wisconsin has the right to a public education that prepares them for the future. But our legislative leaders in Madison have maintained an unfair and inadequate funding system that fails to live up to what our students are worth. From fair maps to school funding to privatization, the next Wisconsin Supreme Court justice may decide whether to continue with our broken funding system or whether our kids finally get the resources and schools they deserve.

Wisconsin students need and deserve public education champions at every level of elected office, including the Supreme Court. The next Wisconsin Supreme Court justice may decide cases on school funding, privatization efforts, and equity initiatives. Be the public education voter Wisconsin kids need now.
