Local school districts, however, will continue to have the ability to increase school district levies by $325 per student per year for the 400-year period that began after Gov.

Crowley is required to offer his budget proposal to the legislature by Jan. 26, 2027. While the Joint Legislative Finance Committee from a Republican legislature pushed back on Evers’ proposals and changed the plan for the past two budgets, Crowley will now be met with a Democrat-led legislature. The election also saw 45 of 79 school referendums approved by Wisconsin voters, according to an

Alabama chancellor selected as new UW president

(The Center Square) – There will soon be a new president at the University of Wisconsin. University regents recently announced they have hired Tonjanita Johnson as the school's new president. Johnson comes to the UW from the University of Alabama, where she served as the senior vice chancellor for academic and student affairs. She replaces Jay Rothman who was forced out in April. "Public higher education has the power to improve lives, strengthen communities and shape a state’s future," Johnson said in a statement. "I look forward to working with our chancellors, faculty, staff, students, elected leaders and partners across Wisconsin to ensure that our universities remain engines of opportunity, innovation and economic vitality." The university did not say how much Johnson will be paid, but Rothman was making $600,000 a year as UW president. Johnson will start as university president early next year. She will assume control of a university system that is facing some serious challenges. The UW, also on Friday, released its official enrollment numbers for the new school year.
