Unheard Conversations
Shedding Light on Challenges our Students & Schools Face
Help us drive change & create equity for all of Madison’s public school students.
Conversations About Change Are Happening. Now Let’s Take Action.
Every day, our students and schools are tasked with overcoming issues that shouldn’t exist. Whether it’s teachers buying supplies with their own money or too many students going to school without snacks and proper clothing, persistent – but often unknown – issues demand community attention.
Frequently, these challenges come up in one-on-one conversations but never reach the masses. Let’s change that. Let’s bring attention to not only the issues but solutions. And let’s work together to bring equity to our public schools.
Creating Equity. Building Opportunity.
Our goal is simple: Give you objective, easy-to-understand information that helps you stay in tune with major issues Madison public schools face, while providing a direct, meaningful way to get involved in a way that drives change TODAY. As an independent, nonprofit organization, we work on behalf of students and teachers, and we’re never beholden to bureaucracy or politics.

Inadequate school funding is failing our future.
Only 10% of Madison Metropolitan School District’s (MMSD) budget comes from state funding, the other 90% from property taxes. The model is broken and it’s impacting our students – and future workers – as programs are reduced and opportunities cut.
