威斯康星州缺乏用于高中职业方案的国家资金,使资金不足地区的学生处于不利境地,尽管全国的幼儿教育支助有所增加。 Wisconsin lacks state funding for high school career programs, leaving students in underfunded areas at a disadvantage despite national growth in CTE support.

威斯康星州仍然是仅有的五个州之一,没有为公立高中的职业和技术教育提供国家专项资金,迫使各地区依赖不一致的联邦资金、赠款和地方税收。 Wisconsin remains one of only five states without dedicated state funding for career and technical education (CTE) in public high schools, forcing districts to rely on inconsistent federal funds, grants, and local taxes. 尽管总监Jill Bunly提出的4 500万美元的资金申请在2026年被拒绝,但倡导者们继续推动投资,以解决劳动力短缺问题,促进学生参与,减少不公平现象。 Despite Superintendent Jill Underly’s $45 million funding request being rejected in 2026, advocates continue pushing for investment to address workforce shortages, boost student engagement, and reduce inequities. 虽然一些学校提供农作和咖啡店管理等实践方案,但入学机会差别很大。 While some schools offer hands-on programs like farming and coffee shop management, access varies widely. 在全国,教育暨教育委员会正在获得两党支持,2024年颁布了90项新政策,但威斯康辛州尚未建立常设供资机制,使资金不足地区的学生处于不利地位。 Nationally, CTE is gaining bipartisan support, with 90 new policies enacted in 2024, yet Wisconsin has not established a permanent funding mechanism, leaving students in underfunded areas at a disadvantage.
