The Civics Academy: WI K-12 School Funding

Beloit Public Library’s Know Your Local Government and the City of Beloit’s Community Academy have merged to form a new program, The Civics Academy. Beloit Public Library (BPL) will host The Civics Academy as a lunch-and-learn at the library and will include presentations on public finance, city services, and other topics that are important to our community. The goal is to inform residents about their local government and community and, in turn, support positive change in the City of Beloit. The inaugural series will run October 2024 through June 2025.

This session focusses on Wisconsin K-12 school funding. Learn through visuals and simplistic language how the State of Wisconsin funds K-12 Public Education.

Lunch is on us! The Civics Academy is sponsored by Stateline Community Foundation and Beloit Public Library Foundation. Each session includes a free lunch when you register in advance.
