Let your voice be heard!

Dear PTA/PTSA Members,

Public education in Wisconsin is at a breaking point. Our schools, our children, our businesses and our communities are suffering under a broken funding system that forces districts to rely on unsustainable referenda just to provide basic services. This crisis is deepening inequities and widening opportunity gaps for students across our state. We must take action.

The Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee is holding public hearings on the state budget, and this is our opportunity to tell lawmakers how inadequate public school funding is impacting our students, teachers, and communities.

We need your voice. We need your stories. We need you to show up.

What Can You Do?

✔ Testify in person – Share your story about how funding shortfalls impact your school. Keep it personal. Keep it powerful. Make lawmakers lose sleep over the reality our children face.

✔ Submit written testimony – Can’t attend? Your written testimony still makes an impact.

Here is a link to find who your representatives are and their contact information. https://m7scym5f.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmaps.legis.wisconsin.gov%2F/1/01000195c4d110f0-5b36caa3-2f3b-4837-bc5b-4b57e41bad71-000000/0FGmKLNyqH1JXtfZ6T-vNsGpgBQ=418

✔ Bring others – The more voices we have, the stronger our message.

We will provide resources to help you craft an effective testimony, but the most important thing is to speak from the heart. Public school funding should not be a game of survival. It’s time to demand a funding system that works for all kids, not just those in districts that can pass referenda.

This is our moment. Show up. Speak out. Take action.
