Effects of Budget Cuts on Education: Whose Interests Do You Represent?


LINK to full report

And now for some.....


Red arrows added to page 1 of Governor Walker's news release.

The Governor's spin.

75% of districts that responded to the survey have the same K-3 class sizes or are decreasing them.  Flip side:  25% of districts have increased class sizes for K-3.

67% of districts for grades 4-6 are keeping the same class size or decreasing them.  Flip side:  33% of districts have increased class sizes for grades 4-6..

25%. 33%. Right out of the gate.

I don't think that's anything to brag about.

And as for the myth nonsense, consider the source.  The map tells a clear story.
