MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin has joined another lawsuit against the Trump administration.
Governor Tony Evers says the lawsuit is aimed at preventing Trump from cutting federal funding for Wisconsin’s public schools. It looks to protect more than half a billion dollars the state receives each year from the U.S. Department of Education.
Evers says the funding cuts would make it harder to keep class sizes small, recruit and retain teachers, and ensure schools stay open. The Trump administration has threatened to cut funding over diversity, equity, and inclusion and transgender athlete policies.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has launched a website tracking the impacts of federal cuts.
