2025 Wisconsin Federal Funding Conference
The 2025 Federal Funding Conference, a collaboration between DPI, WASBO and WCASS was held on February 24 and 25, 2025.
The purpose of this conference is to provide an overarching view of federal education grants awarded to Wisconsin local education agencies. The conference is purposely designed to be meaningful to both program area and fiscal staff, and we encourage agencies to send a team of people who work with ESEA, IDEA, and Perkins from both the programmatic and monetary angles - whatever position you hold, if you are tied to these federal programs at all, you will find use in this conference. The speakers are from DPI, and our goal is to make sure that the information you receive is understandable and applicable to your work and will hopefully shed some light on what can seem to be confusing topics.
