Everything you ever wanted to know about the school funding system!

Are you a teacher who has watched your class size grow over the years yet it seems like school budgets only shrink? Did you ever wish someone could just explain to you how school funding actually gets decided? Ever want to have more of a voice in the process? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then you NEED to be at the public forum on school funding, Wednesday October 22 from 4:30 to 6:30 at MPS Central Services auditorium, 5225 W. Vliet.
Hear from knowledgeable presenters who have been working hard for fairness in funding on behalf of our students. They include:

* Jeff Leverich, Senior Researcher for the Wisconsin Education Association Council
* Jack Norman, Research Director for the Institute for Wisconsin's Future
* Mary Bell, President of the Wisconsin Education Association Council
* Teresa Thomas-Boyd, Organizer for Citizen Action of Wisconsin, and MPS parent

So if you've ever dreamed of going to a school board budget meeting and NOT having to hear about teachers being cut or schools being closed, this forum is for YOU!
