Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Education
Primary and secondary education
Low revenue ceiling; restrictions
Current law provides a minimum per pupil revenue limit for school districts, known as the revenue ceiling. The revenue ceiling for the 2019-20 school year was $9,700 per pupil. Current law also provides that during the three school years following a school year in which an operating referendum fails in a school district, the school district's revenue ceiling is the revenue ceiling that applied in the school year during which the referendum was held. The bill eliminates the provision under which a school district's revenue ceiling is the revenue ceiling from a previous school year because an operating referendum failed in the school district.
For further information see the 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:
