Beneficial Analysis of WI Referendums

A recent analysis by Forward Analytics shows that the reliance on referendums to fund K-12 education in Wisconsin is increasing. The report highlights the challenges faced by school districts, especially smaller ones with declining enrollment, due to revenue limits. Since 2000, funding approved through referendums for K-12 schools has exceeded state aids for special education, reaching $650 million. The report also reveals a higher approval rate for referendums since 2010, as revenue limits have failed to keep up with inflationary costs, disproportionately affecting smaller districts. Please take a look when you have a moment.
