Walker's Failed Reforms Flood School Districts With Red Ink


Rock County's school districts are expected to be slammed yet again by substantial cuts during year one of Gov. Scott Walker's next budget. Now into his third state budget, this leaves no doubt that Walker's reforms including his heavily touted Act 10 have failed to provide Wisconsin school districts and communities with even a minimal level of budget neutral certainty.

Total shortfalls are estimated at $5.0 million for Rock County school districts alone.

schools that do a much better job by slashing salaries, cutting programs, externalising costs, and distorting the outcomes.

What could go wrong?

All they have to do is get out the tools they got from Walker! An Ax to chop away at teacher salaries and benefits! A screwdriver to gouge money out of classrooms! A hammer to quiet any dissenters! Don't forget to wear ear protection when cutting music and arts programming with the saw!
