MANITOWISH WATERS - Governor Tony Evers was in Manitowish Waters yesterday.  Evers was at the North Lakeland School District in Manitowish Waters to highlight his support for Wisconsin’s kids and schools. The Governor spoke on the importance of supporting smaller school districts, as well as next steps, after a months-long bipartisan agreement to send more funding to these areas failed earlier this month.  Throughout Governor Evers' two terms, educational support has been a top priority. For nearly eight years, he’s visited classrooms and spoke with teachers on their main concerns for the future of state support.  Earlier this month, Evers proposed a bipartisan surplus deal that would have sent $850 million from the state's budget surplus to tax filers and provide funding to school districts across the state. Evers' term is coming to an end in January, and with the next Governor being decided in November, chances are very slim that an agreement will be reached on the surplus money before then.
