VETO Debate Highlights Financing for La Crosse Schools
The La Crosse budget clash centers on class sizes and staffing funds. Mayor Knutson criticizes the administration for failing to increase teacher numbers and for not pursuing economies to raise salaries and improve education. He notes library funding rose while per student spending ranks high, with ADA costs about 397 dollars now and potentially 460 under the budget. Other districts, through leaner operations, could pay teachers more while matching or surpassing La Crosse quality.
