steps. |

Walk on the Child's Side and the rally were
co-sponsored by Price County Citizens Who CARE and the
Wisconsin Alliance for Excellent Schools. |

of educators, parents, community members, and students
from around the state rallied for school funding reform
at the state Capitol. |

reformers on the steps of the Capitol were Sens. Bob
Jauch (D-Poplar) and Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) and Reps.
Sondy Pope-Roberts (D-Verona), Gary Sherman (D-Port
Wing), and Jon Richards (D-Milwaukee). |
