Summary
Wisconsin is one of the few states that doesn't fund career and technical education at the state level, and MATC gets no state enrollment credit for courses taught inside MPS high schools — capping how much dual enrollment can grow. The chair wants this front and center in the city's November legislative packet.

Impact analysis
State funding gaps limit MATC's capacity to staff and expand dual-enrollment courses in MPS high schools.
Students statewide would gain broader access to tuition-free college credit and trades training if the state funded CTE.
Right now, MPS students and schools lose out because courses taught in high schools don't generate the funding that campus courses do.
