Dr. Jill Underly, Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction, and a repeat Pencil Buster, joins Dr. Tim and Dr. Johnny to talk about our future. Specifically, Dr. Underly wants to talk about reinvesting in our futures. How? By restoring public school funding and choosing to invest in meeting the needs of our future educators, business leaders, doctors, civil servants, citizens. After decades of divestment from public education, Wisconsin's schools need a drastic infusion of cash to address basic needs and begin building a brighter future. Dr. Underly proposes investing over $4 BILLION in the next biennium into our schools. It's drastic, and it's absolutely needed to relieve the crushing burden of endless referenda and lost opportunities to help children.
