To the Honorable, the Legislature:
We have completed an evaluation of the Children At Risk program, as directed by s.
118.153(6), Wis. Stats. Created in 1985, the program is intended to increase the number of students attaining high school diplomas by improving services to those at risk of failing in, or dropping out of, school. The program, which is administered by the Department of Public Instruction, has been appropriated $3.5 million in general purpose revenue for each fiscal year since 1990-91.
As a result of changes made by
1993 Wisconsin Act 16, the program has lost its statewide focus. Since the 1993-94 school year, only those school districts that apply for program aid are required to provide a program for at-risk students; no more than 19 districts were deemed eligible to apply for program funding in any given year because of stricter eligibility requirements; and one district—Milwaukee Public Schools—has received two-thirds of the $8.6 million distributed during the past three school years.
