Private voucher schools.
Green Bay is the
first municipality
in the state
to show those costs
on residents' property tax bills
In your mind
why is that
important to delineate?
Well again
this was something that
our school district
felt very strongly about
for some time.
They brought it
to our common council.
We just felt like
transparency is really
the best answer here.
I think
a lot of people assume
public dollars are going
to public schools.
When you show this to them
it tends to raise some questions
But even if you're an advocate
of private voucher schools
I think this enables one
to make that argument.
The system that we have
in place is the one
that voucher advocates
have asked for
at the state of Wisconsin.
So if they're not
comfortable with it
they should bring forward
an alternate way of
funding education
in the state of Wisconsin.
I know that
public school advocates
have been doing that
for some time.
We're certainly looking forward
to seeing how that
lawsuit moves forward
and how the Legislature
responds to this debate
in the next session.
