It's a flaw in Wisconsin's school funding formula that everyone's known about for decades, yet nothing gets done about it: There are school districts with lakes and other features that lead to a handful of high-end properties, which reduces the amount of state aid even though most of the families and kids in the district live in lower-value households. Why are we still using land value to determine whether kids get a good education or not? We'll talk to guests from Lake Holcombe, where the school district could shut down if a referendum fails to make up what's lost in a terrible formula.
