To the Honorable, the Legislature:
A175 According to Wisconsin School Law 121.87 in accordance with 13.172, the Board is required by law to submit the enclosed reports. School Law 121.87 states "...annually by May 1 the board of school directors of the school district operating under ch. 119 shall submit a report to the legislature under s. 13.172 (2) that specifies the number, percentage, race, sex, grade and attendance area of pupils transferred outside their attendance area without written consent under s. 121.85 (6)(am)."
Enclosed you will find a report that meet the requirements stated above. The total number of intra-district students bused under the Chapter 220 designation for the school year 2008-2009 equals 15,037. Of that number 780 either did not return a consent form or checked box indicating no consent. Students who have moved during the school year and no longer require parental consent were subtracted from the non-returned figure. The district did meet the requirement of ninety-five percent (95%) parents providing consent.
Sincerely,
Michael Turza, Director
Division of Business Services

To the Honorable, the Assembly:
The Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP) was established in 1991 to assist local communities in improving seriously deteriorating county highways, town roads, and municipal streets. Since then, $327 million has been distributed to local units of government through this program. The 2007-09 State Biennial Budget provided non-discretionary funds of $16.9 million in FY 2008 and $17.2 in FY 2009, with separate discretionary funds of $7.1 million in FY 2008 and $7.3 million in FY 2009. Including funding carryover from the previous program cycle, $48.8 million was available for 931 LRIP projects during the FY 2008 and FY 2009 program cycle.
Administrative Rule Trans 206.03 (15)(f) directs WisDOT to publish a summary of program activity by June 30th of each odd-numbered year. The latest edition, Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP) Biennial Summary Report: State Fiscal Years 2008-2009 is available exclusively electronically on the LRIP Web site at http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/localgov/docs/lrip-biennial2008.pdf.
Information in the report is current as of March 9, 2009. Since not all projects from the 2008-2009 program cycle were completed as of this date, data in this report may not agree with the most current information available.
If you have questions regarding the program, please visit the LRIP Web site at:
