Janesville School Board Looking for State Help

Frank Schultz:

Cullen has proposed a plan of attack he hopes will lead to more money from the state. Several school board members expressed support for the idea.

Members hope to start their push for change May 7, when they meet with the state Sen. Judy Robson, D-Beloit, and Assembly Rep. Mike Sheridan, D-Janesville.

If anything can be done, it must be done soon. The Legislature is working on a two-year budget for the state, with a deadline to pass it by June 30.

Cullen proposes districts like Janesville's could get relief from the state under a "50-25-25" formula:

Interesting, including former State Senator Tim Cullen's presence on the Janesville school board. Health care costs are also an issue in Janesville.
