Editor’s note: the following information has been supplied by the office of State Rep. Don Vruwink.
Area schools will receive more than $3.8 million in federal stimulus funding, according to State Rep. Don Vruwink.
On Thursday, Gov. Tony Evers announced that he is directing $110 million to the 421 school districts in Wisconsin.
Although the money is titled coronavirus relief, school districts can use the money for a variety of purposes, including hiring teachers and staff, purchasing supplies, mental health support, and extracurricular opportunities.
School districts in Rep. Vruwink’s Assembly district will receive the following amounts: Edgerton, $257,140; Evansville, $231,600; Fort Atkinson, $347,533; Janesville, $1,233,282; Milton, $463,467; Oregon, $513,878; Parkview, $110,986; Stoughton, $384,573, and Whitewater, $272, 919.
“When I voted for the state budget, I knew Gov. Evers would do as much as he could to help schools in my district and around the state. I’m happy to see that 43rd Assembly District schools are receiving over $3.8 million out of the $110 million statewide investment,” said Vruwink, who is a former teacher, former member of the Milton School Board, and current member of the Assembly Education Committee.
