Background: On November 6, State Superintendent Evers, was elected the next Governor of the State of Wisconsin.

With that victory the budget that Governor-Elect Evers proposed as State Superintendent, now becomes the K-12 education budget that will be put forward in the Governor's budget in February.

Among other highlights of that budget long overdue funding increases for students with disabilities have been put forward.

As district by district funding detail is being compiled those figures will be discussed as we have them.

Updated information regarding the Milwaukee Early Childhood Initiative will be highlighted as well.
