State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly celebrated a recent decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which upheld Gov. Tony Evers’ partial line-item veto in the 2023-25 biennial state budget. This ruling ensures that Wisconsin school districts will continue to receive critical per-pupil revenue adjustments through 2425. Dr. Underly, in a statement, emphasized the importance of sustainable, predictable funding for public schools and called for real, usable investments in areas such as special education, mental health support for students, educator support, and access to free nutritious school meals for all children. She stressed the need for these priorities to be reflected in the upcoming state budget, highlighting that without meaningful investment from the legislature, the burden of funding falls on local property taxpayers. Dr. Underly urged for an aid commitment from the legislature to alleviate this burden and ensure that Wisconsin schools receive the necessary support to provide quality education for all students. The ruling was seen as a victory for public schools in Wisconsin, with Dr. Underly expressing optimism for the future of education in the state.
