A problem only stays a problem if there's no willingness to put a solution in place. That's the case with Wisconsin's convoluted school funding system. Last week, we visited with two members of a 2017 Blue Ribbon Commission charged with simplifying the way we pay for schools. Those solutions are still waiting for some political willpower — or maybe just some changes to who's in charge in the Legislature. We'll talk to Sen. Jeff Smith and Rep. Christian Phelps about how it's not too late to make things better for taxpayers, educators, and kids.

South Dakota public schools face challenges as the politics of property tax shift. Economist Kyle Kopplin, Ph.D. talks with Lori Walsh.
Wisconsin's school funding system is a mystery to most people, but there's an even bigger mystery out there: Gathering dust on a shelf is a comprehensive bipartisan plan to simplify and improve school funding in our state. Whatever happened to it? We'll talk to two members of the 2017 Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding. It was praised as a model for how Republicans and Democrats could work together. But togetherness is not a quality that's been top-of-mind for the people in charge of the state Assembly and Senate.

COMMON SENSE BROKE DOWN SCHOOL FUNDING And the numbers are kind of eye popping when you see it all written out. Kelly Caufield joins me today at 1 to discuss the details, which you can find here.
The need for better funding in schools is urgent. By enhancing learning environments, providing valuable resources, and supporting both students and teachers, we can build a brighter future for all. It is crucial to advocate for the funding our schools deserve, giving every child the opportunity to succeed and thrive.Investing in education pays off. Well-funded schools produce graduates who contribute positively to the economy.

New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi has been found guilty of misusing her position. She pleaded no contest Tuesday to the allegation that she tried to improperly influence former Gov. Chris Sununu, but she'll also be able to return to her seat on the state Supreme Court. And this year the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that the amount the state currently pays per student to public schools is not enough — not by thousands of dollars per student. The court didn't say how the state should fix its funding problem or give a timeline for when that should happen. But some state lawmakers say they have ideas on how to solve the issue. One such idea includes increasing property taxes. We discuss these stories and more on this week's edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with NHPR reporter Todd Bookman and Ethan DeWitt at the New Hampshire Bulletin.

This summer, Wisconsin lawmakers approved a major increase in special education funding — something districts across the state have been requesting for years. But while that's good news for special ed programs, there's a catch: general school aid is staying flat. In fact, several districts in Door County are seeing cuts. So what does that mean for schools, and for your next property tax bill? Eleanor Corbin, Peninsula Pulse reporter who covers schools across Door County, joins Debra Fitzgerald to unpack it all.
Sociologist David Grusky argues that all the usual debilitating debates about inequality can be sidestepped if we focus on the worst forms – those rooted in cronyism, racism, and nepotism – that everyone can agree are nothing more than a pernicious transfer of income or wealth from the powerless to the powerful. To fight this “worst form” of inequality, Grusky shows how powerful interventions can be identified with new quasi-experimental methods, including those that use naturally occurring or AI-generated doppelgangers instead of very expensive randomized controlled trials. “We're leaving a lot of talent on the table. And the cost is profound,” Grusky tells host Russ Altman about the price of inequality on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?
