WEAU 13: Eau Claire schools, teachers join statewide coalition in lawsuit against state Legislature

Leah Hover-Preiss teaches in Adams-Friendship and is a plaintiff in the lawsuit. She’s witnessed the consequences of inadequate funding directly in her classroom: larger class sizes, reduced teacher support, fewer student opportunities and a critical lack of mental health services. “In order to best support students and families, our schools need strong and stable funding from the state,” she said.
