The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 147, introduced on March 19, 2026, by a group of representatives and senators, aims to establish an annual Education Foundation Day in Wisconsin, specifically on May 13, 2026. This resolution recognizes the significant role that over 350 education foundations play in supporting public schools across the state. These foundations enhance educational experiences, provide funding for programs that are not covered by traditional budgets, and foster community connections to advocate for public education.
The resolution highlights the contributions of education foundations in empowering educators, removing barriers to learning, and building long-term investments in public education through endowments and legacy funds. By designating a specific day to honor these foundations, the resolution seeks to promote awareness and appreciation for their efforts in enriching the educational landscape for students in Wisconsin.
