WisconsinFailed proposal would add $325 to school district revenue limits
The failed proposal would add $325 to school district revenue limit calculations through 2026-27, with separate rules for consolidated districts.
What it does
The failed proposal would add $325 when calculating school district revenue limits for the 2023-24 through 2026-27 school years.
For 2027-28 and later school years, the proposal would make no adjustment to the result used to calculate district revenue limits.
For consolidated districts, the proposal would use one revenue limit calculation through 2026-27 and a different one starting in 2027-28.
Argument forThe $325 adjustment could give districts more room to raise revenue for school needs through the 2026-27 school year.
