MADISON, Wis. (AP) — School advocates are complaining that the Republican-authored state budget doesn’t commit enough state aid to education even though the federal government is set to pump billions in coronavirus relief aid into Wisconsin districts. The GOP-controlled budget committee gave schools $128 million more over the next two years. The state needed to spend almost $400 million more than that to secure $2.3 billion in federal coronavirus relief money. The committee last week cut property taxes levied by schools by $647 million and backfill the lost revenue with state aid. School leaders from around the state are urged the Republican-controlled Legislature on Monday to do more.
