Under current law, state aid to independent charter schools is funded by a reduction in general school aid, applied on a prorated basis to all school districts. Current law provides that beginning in the 2011-12 school year, instead of reducing general school aid by the amount of charter school aid paid in the same school year, general school aid will be reduced by the amount of charter school aid paid in the 2010-11 school year.
This bill eliminates this cap on the reduction in general school aid described above.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. 121.08 (4) (a) 1. of the statutes is amended to read:
121.08 (4) (a) 1. In the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school year, add Add the amounts paid under s. 118.40 (2r) in the current school year, and in the 2011-12 school year and each school year thereafter, add the amounts paid under s. 118.40 (2r) in the 2010-11 school year.
(End)
