State Superintendent Underly Supports Evers’ Budget for Education

State Superintendent Highlights Crucial Educational Funding in New Budget Proposal

Amidst ongoing national policy shifts, Wisconsin’s State Superintendent, Dr. Jill Underly, has underscored the importance of the recent budget proposal by Governor Tony Evers for the 2025-27 biennium. This budget marks a pivotal moment for public education and libraries in the state.

Dr. Underly emphasized the urgency of these investments in light of the challenges posed by federal policies. She stated, “As the Trump administration presses forward with its reckless and destructive slash-and-burn operation impacting Wisconsin’s children and families, historic state investments into public education are not just needed, they are critical to our state’s survival.”

These remarks highlight the state’s commitment to counterbalance federal actions with substantial state-level support for education. The proposed budget aims to mitigate the impact of federal decisions by prioritizing resources for public schools and libraries, ensuring they remain a pillar of community and educational support.
