Madison Public Schools to Ask for $600M More From Taxpayers

from Wisconsin in Focus · host America's Talking Network

 There are questions about the plan from public schools in Madison to raise taxes by more than half-a-billion dollars this fall after the Madison Metropolitan School Board recently approved two tax increase questions for the fall. The $600 million requests come after MMSD got a $350 million tax increase in 2020. Will Flanders, an education expert at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, said there’s hardly any evidence Madison Metropolitan Schools deserve an extra half-billion dollars.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/wisconsin/article_c8affaa8-33bf-11ef-89ad-a39491b4b8d5.html  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
