Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Posts State General School Aid Amounts
Monday, October 16th, 2023 -- 2:00 PM
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction posted state general school aids that school districts will receive during the current school year.
The information published includes certified general school aid amounts for each school district, as well as 2023-24 student enrollment numbers for independent charter schools and private schools participating in state parental choice programs.
The enrollment numbers are used to determine the dollar amounts to be deducted or withheld from school districts' aid payments to fund state parental choice programs. General school aids are the largest form of state support for PK-12 schools in Wisconsin and are based on prior year data.
Private school choice and independent charter school programs are funded based on current year data. The DPI is required by state law to release the certified aid figures by Oct. 15 of each year.
The general school aid amounts for school districts are calculated using student counts and year-end financial data from the previous school year (2022-23). This data replaces preliminary aid estimates released in July.
