As for being the "3rd poorest district in the county", being the 3rd poorest of the richest doesn't make one poor.

What this means is that rich districts (like Kettle Moraine or Arrowhead) can provide more funds for operations than the poorer ones can. I think the right answer is for the State to go back to funding 2/3 of the public school operations, and by the way, eliminate the parallel "voucher" school taxpayer payments and focus on the public schools as required by the State Constitution.<br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none"><br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none"><br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none">-----Original Message-----<br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none">From: heidiepeterson--- via Lekooks <<a class="yiv7195276695" href="mailto:lekooks@lekook.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:lekooks@lekook.org">lekooks@lekook.org</a>><br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none">To: LCUUC GroupEmail <<a class="yiv7195276695" href="mailto:lekooks@lekook.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:lekooks@lekook.org">lekooks@lekook.org</a>><br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none">Sent: Tue, Feb 26, 2019 10:16 am<br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none">Subject: [Lekooks] Do you live in the Kettle Moraine School District?<br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none"><br class="yiv7195276695" clear="none"></div><div class="yiv7195276695yqt1976558277" id="yiv7195276695yqt75020"><div class="yiv7195276695" id="yiv7195276695"><div class="yiv7195276695">
