The problem is not the funding formula!

Tonight the Milwaukee Public Schools board met to discuss the possibility of dissolving the district. The consensus is that they can’t do it.

But the sheer ignorance is stunning. The sound bytes from board members went like this: “The problem is the funding formula. We need to fix our funding.”

Wrong! The problem is the spending. The district is wasting nearly $14,000 per child. It’s wasteful because children aren’t being educated, and because the amount is excessive.  That’s not a funding problem. That’s quite simply a spending problem.
