Greenfield draws attention to school-funding dilemma

The newest member of WAES —-the School District of Greenfield—isn’t shy about telling its story. School board members, staff, parents, students, community members, and Superintendent Conrad Farner will discuss school-funding reform whenever and wherever possible and with whomever wants to listen.

Most recently, Greenfield was the subject of an article by veteran education reporter Alan Borsuk in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Farner lays out the problems, including a list of 122 positions or services that have been eliminated or reduced since 2002-03, leading Borsuk to ask if it isn’t time to take a realistic look at the cost of quality education.

As I said, Greenfield isn’t shy about sharing its views:

• An e-mail Superintendent Farner sent to legislators
• The list of programs eliminated or reduced
• A flier the district uses to explain the statewide school-funding reform crisis
• A PowerPoint presentation the district uses to explain the dilemma
