LFB Memo on New Amendment: $14.2 Million Cut to 142 Districts
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | February 9, 2016
Late this afternoon, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) issued a memo detailing the fiscal impact of Assembly Amendment 3 (the new amendment) to AB 751 on the 142 school districts impacted by the Racine and Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs. The LFB estimates the loss under the amendment to be $14.2 million spread across the 142 districts.
We believe that the Assembly Education Committee plans to adopt AA 3 and pass the amended AB 751 tomorrow in executive session. Assembly leadership will likely have the amended bill on the Assembly floor for a vote on Thursday.
Once again, here is the bottom line on Assembly Amendment 3: if your district has resident students in the statewide or Racine voucher programs, under this amendment, you will lose revenue limit authority and you will likely have to pay for your voucher students by reducing educational opportunities for the children that remain in your district. We strongly oppose these efforts and urge you to keep the pressure on state lawmakers.
Stay tuned.
