State superintendent statement on Private School Choice Programs lawsuit

MADISON — State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly released the following statement today in response to the filing of the Private School Choice Programs lawsuit.

 

“Education represents an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen our state, but public education represents even more than that. Public education is a constitutional right. It says it right there in Article X, Section 3 of the Wisconsin Constitution. And as a right guaranteed to our children, and as an opportunity for our state to put our money where our priorities should be, Wisconsin needs to fulfill its responsibility to effectively, equitably, and robustly fund our public education system. I welcome any opportunity to move Wisconsin in that direction.”
