Click on the post for an article in today's Wisconsin State Journal about a legislative proposal to alter the state funding formula that has not been working---it has beep particularly harmful to school districts in rural areas that have had declining enrollment.
As I understand it, there would be some help in the transportation aids area. The current rule is that if a program is offered, transportation must be offered. For rural school districts where transportation costs have been rising, this is a problem. It is unclear whether the transportation aid increase would help Evansville schools. I hope so.
In the other area--it appears that there will be an adjustment upward of the allowable levy----Click on the post to read the article.
This all is happening today as there is a hearing on this legislative proposal. Stay tuned.
