AB323,1,3
1An Act to amend 121.08 (4) (b) 1. of the statutes;
relating to: the reduction in
2school aid to the Milwaukee Public Schools to offset costs of the Milwaukee
3Parental Choice Program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the estimated cost of the payments made to the private
schools participating in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program is partially offset
by a reduction in the general school aid otherwise paid to the Milwaukee Public
Schools (MPS) by an amount equal to 38.4 percent of the cost. Beginning in the
2013-14 school year, the 38.4 percent aid reduction is reduced by 3.2 percentage
points each year, resulting in a total phase-out of the aid reduction in 12 years.
This bill requires a 9.6 percentage point reduction each year, resulting in a
four-year phase-out of the MPS aid reduction.
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:
