Governor Jim Doyle stresses the importance of protecting public education in the state budget during a press conference at Chippewa Falls High School on June 14.

In February the governor introduced a state budget bill that calls for an additional $850 million investment so that the state lives up to its promise to fully fund two-thirds of the cost of public education. The Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee finished its work on the budget bill this month, and it calls for more than $400 million in cuts to education. If the JFC bill became law, the Chippewa Falls School District would face cuts of more than $1.8 million over the next two years.
