Prior to the last school referendum, a budget override of $13.5 million that Marshfield taxpayers are going to start paying with higher property taxes next year, we heard a lot from the school district and their political machine the Yes Committee (Kiggins is their treasurer!) that the real problem with school budgets is the broken funding system in Madison. we were told it's a state issue and Superintendent Bruce King himself said the district will need to keep coming back with more referendums if things don't change.
The revenue caps (i.e. the 'broken funding system") was passed in to legislation 15 years ago.
Frances Bohon has served on the school board for 12 years.
Marshfield School Watch asks the questions: What has Bohon done in the past 12 years to help fix the broken funding system? and What does she plan to do differently if she is elected to another 3 year term.
What is our school district doing to help bring about the needed reforms in school funding? This is the CHANGE that Bruce King says is needed to keep future referendums off the ballot.
What had Bohon done as part of the school board for 12 years besides help pass 3 referendums in the past 4 years that have cost taxpayers over $40 million?
How is voting for her again, keeping the status quo and "business as usual" going to bring about change?

Doug,
Great catch on this one. The arrogance of this school board is costing tax payers more and more money, because they seem to feel they can do it all by themselves.
Then, when those school districts listed get some things to change, Marshfield will pounding their chest.
Yes, what is marshfield doing to fix the "broken" school funding system? Apparently NOTHING!
