Over Half Of Wisconsin Public School Districts To Receive Less General Aid

Monday, July 1st, 2013 -- 10:31 AM

More than half of Wisconsin public school districts will receive less general aid in the 2013-14 school year than they did for the 2012-13 school year according to estimates released today by the Department of Public Instruction.

General school aid is set at $4.341 billion for 2013-14, a 1.1 percent increase in state general aid compared to last school year.

Of the state's 424 school districts, 54 percent (229) will receive less general aid in 2013-14, while 45 percent of districts (193) are expected to receive more aid.

By state statute, the department is required, by July 1, to compute an estimate of the general school aid each public school district will receive for the coming school year. School personnel use the estimate to complete their annual budgets.

On Oct. 15, the department will certify state general aid amounts for 2013-14 based on audited 2012-13 data. Estimated general aid to districts may change.
