Why it’s So Hard to Get Info From Madison Schools

from City Cast Madison · host City Cast

Public schools are paid for by us, the public. And we the people are entitled to oversight.  But what happens when a public entity does not live up to the law? And leaves frustrated parents hanging, waiting months on end for basic info? When delays force citizens to sue to get answers? That’s what’s happening at the Madison Metropolitan School District. Public interest lawyers say it’s THE worst government body in the entire state of Wisconsin for transparency. What’s going on? We dig in with Tom Kamenick of the Wisconsin Transparency Project.  Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email [email protected].
