Today, my Democratic colleagues and I introduced legislation to follow through on the reimbursement rates of special education that were promised to our Wisconsin schools by making this funding sum sufficient. Though our work is not done on this issue, this bill is an important step forward.

Dismantling public education and putting kids into private school settings that are fully unaccountable will not make them safer. There is a viable bipartisan path forward on protecting our kids that I’m hopeful Rep. Piwowarczyk is willing to engage in that will protect kids.
