March 5, 2025 - 04:32
MADISON — State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly issued a statement today in response to U.S. Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon's recent letter advocating for a major overhaul of the federal education system. This proposed change could influence nearly $1 billion in annual funding allocated to students, families, and communities across Wisconsin.
Dr. Underly emphasized the critical nature of federal support in maintaining educational standards, stating, “This isn’t a game for our kids and their families. Funding, programming, and guidance from the federal government supports all Wisconsin students.” She underscored the importance of a unified approach to education, which ensures that every learner receives a high-quality education.
The potential shift in federal policy raises concerns about the stability and resources available to Wisconsin's educational institutions. Dr. Underly's remarks highlight the necessity for continued federal commitment to education, which plays a vital role in shaping the future of students statewide.
