Evers and idiot Legislature coming to agreement on school funding

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV/bulletins/35eff7d

I don’t like it. $325 per pupil per year aid increase after TWO YEARS of NOTHING from them. Essentially we are getting a cut. Huge increases for rich peoples private charter and religious schools.

Providing more than $1 billion in spendable revenue for K-12 education to maintain two-thirds funding, including a $325 per pupil increase in each fiscal year on revenue limits;
Setting aside $50 million to improve reading and literacy outcomes for K-12 students (details for exact implementation of the funding have not yet been determined);
Providing a per pupil aid increase for choice and independent charter schools;
Investing $30 million over the biennium to continue the governor’s initiative to support school-based mental health services statewide;
Reaching 33.3% reimbursement for special education; and
Increasing the low revenue ceiling from $10,000 to $11,000 per student.

Personally not against compromise in general, but what the R's got so Milwaukee can generate additional tax revenue? I think the GOP got the better end of this deal.
