(Bob Hague, WRN) Business and education leaders are calling for an investment in Wisconsin’s K-12 schools.

Over 160 businesses and education leaders have written a letter to Governor Tony Evers, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, calling on them to invest a portion of the projected budget surplus in K-12 education.

Evers has called a special session of the Legislature to address his plans for part of the projected three-point-eight billion surplus, including 750 million for public schools. Republican leaders don’t want to touch the surplus until the next legislative session.
