“2024 actually was a record, at least for the years that we have on record since 1990,” Mark Sommerhauser, communications director and policy researcher for the Wisconsin Policy Forum, told WMTV 15 News.
Over 80 of the state’s 386 districts have asked their local communities to increase school spending this spring, although voters have shown signs of increasing reluctance to support their requests.
“Over the last six or seven years, we have seen somewhat of a decrease in the rate at which these referenda are approved,” Sommerhauser said.
