Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
Please remove my name as a co-author of Assembly Bill 233, relating to an exemption from the prevailing wage law for a public works project that is not less than 85 percent privately funded in which the completed facility is dedicated to the state or a local governmental unit for conservation, recreational, or educational purposes.
Sincerely,

To the Honorable, the Assembly:
Under the open enrollment program, pupils may apply to attend public schools outside of the school districts where they reside. For each participating pupil, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) transfers state aid from the district where the pupil resides to the district where the pupil attends school. This per pupil transfer amount is based on the statewide average of all districts' direct educational costs, which include such costs as teacher salaries and fringe benefits but exclude such costs as those related to administration and building operations. As required by
2011 Wisconsin Act 32, the 2011-13 Biennial Budget Act, we have reported on the amounts transferred since the program began in the 1998-99 school year, as well as on alternatives that could be considered for modifying the per pupil amount of state aid that is transferred between districts.
In the 2010-11 school year, 34,450 pupils participated in the program, and the amount transferred per pupil was $6,665. A total of 224 districts lost more pupils than they gained through the program, 199 gained more than they lost, and 1 did not gain or lose any pupils. Most of the state's 424 districts either had a net gain or a net loss of 50 pupils or fewer, but 39 had a net gain or net loss of more than 100 pupils.
