“Since 2011, WIDA has been fortunate to share an invaluable Adopt a School relationship with Midvale Elementary. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of not just collaborating and connecting with educators, but also with students through our volunteer work in classrooms and at school events. Through events like educator roundtables, we’ve gained valuable insight into how to better support educators, students, and families.” 

– Rachel Maske, Finance Coordinator, WIDA

Funding Wisconsin’s Future

Public schools are the foundation of our communities and democracy, yet Wisconsin has been steadily disinvesting in them for over 30 years. As the state’s budget process unfolds, we have a critical opportunity to advocate for adequate and equitable funding.

It’s time to demand stable, ongoing support for our public schools—because our kids’ futures can’t wait.
