Republican state Sen. Howard Marklein, cochair of the Legislatureâs Joint Finance Committee, had a question for Carolyn Stanford Taylor, state superintendent of public instruction: Are the pandemic-related needs of Milwaukee Public Schools five times greater than the COVID-19 costs of the Lancaster School District in Markleinâs southwest Wisconsin district?
Marklein asked because a Legislative Fiscal Bureau report said federal pandemic aid packages will give MPS an average of $11,242 per student while giving the Lancaster district aid averaging $2,213 per student.
Appearing on JFCâs first day of hearings on Gov. Tony Evers 2021-23 budget requestâa budget Republicans who control the Legislature plan to largely ignoreâStanford Taylor said MPS has 160 outdated school buildings that make them especially hard to safely retrofit for students, teachers, administrators and support staff.
