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 27 urban and suburban public school districts with a combined enrollment of more than 200,000 students (approximately 25% 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 the benefit of all students by driving education policies supporting strong public schools to ensure world-class practices, economic vitality, and community well-being.
