School Finance in Wisconsin
Where we are now | How we got here | What is ahead
The future success of our children and our state depends on the education policy decisions made by Wisconsin legislators and policymakers. The Southeastern Wisconsin Schools Alliance (SWSA) provides school leaders with objective, non-partisan information and training they need to be strong advocates for educational excellence. SWSA serves 26 urban and suburban public school districts with a combined enrollment of 170,000 students (approximately 21% of Wisconsin’s public school students).
School districts greatly benefit from greater capacity and combined scale to advocate for policies and practices that will most benefit their communities. There is an opportunity to create greater impact by taking action on common interests that positively impact our student, teachers, and communities.
SWSA advocates for public school students by driving sound education policy, and supporting adequate and equitable funding.
