Background:
|
As state budget discussions begin to ramp up, new analysis from the Wisconsin Budget Project makes clear that, "in 2019, Wisconsin school districts will receive $153 million less in state aid than in 2011 in inflation-adjusted dollars, or 2.6% less." It should be noted that funding levels in 2011 were insufficient to support the school-funding needs of districts that are engaged in the annual practice of cutting programs from their budgets.
In addition, this month marked the beginning of the new Special Needs Scholarship Program, which provides a minimum 90% reimbursement rate for students with disabilities in private schools. Students with disabilities in public schools receive a reimbursement rate of 26%. The link below provides information on the additional support students with disabilities would receive if valued at the same reimbursement level as are their private-school counterparts. This information is based on numbers provided by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
