While the Legislature seems focused on dealing with the stateâ??s budget crisis at the expense of taking on a political battle over the stateâ??s school aid formula, school funding reform advocates are making a final push to influence the governorâ??s biennial budget.
The Reformers: Dr. Andrew Reschovsky is a professor of applied economics and public affairs at the La Follete of Public Affairs at the UW-Madison. Reschovsky has advised the School Finance Network and believes their proposal offers a realistic solution to the stateâ??s education funding woes. Reschovsky said that districts all over the state are facing budget deficits, because the state aid formula is failing.
