At a recent public hearing for the 2025-27 biennial state budget, Wisconsin parents, notably mothers, were the most prominent group advocating for enhanced funding in public education and healthcare. The Joint Committee on Finance received numerous proposals emphasizing the need for increased support in education, disability accommodations, and Medicaid services. “70% to 80% of funding for schools in Milwaukee is coming from state and local sources,” said Colleston Morgan Jr., Executive Director of City Forward Collective. “We continue to advocate to ensure that federal resources need to be there, and we also need to make sure that our state is doing its part to ensure that all of our students are equally funded.”
