General Aid Amounts for Local School Districts

Thursday, October 16th, 2025 -- 2:00 PM

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction today published state general school aids that school districts will receive during the current school year.

This release of certified financial figures is based on data from the previous school year, including student counts and year-end financial data. The information published today includes certified general school aid amounts for each school district, as well as 2025-26 student enrollment numbers for independent charter schools and private schools participating in the Private School Choice Programs and the Special Needs Scholarship Program.

Certain enrollment numbers for these programs are used to determine the dollar amounts to be withheld from school districts’ aid payments to fund the programs as applicable.

General school aids are the largest form of state support for PK-12 schools in Wisconsin and are based on prior-year data. The PSCP, SNSP, 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. General school aid amounts for school districts are calculated using student counts and year-end financial data from the previous school year (2024-25). This certified data replaces preliminary aid estimates released in July.

General aid amounts for our local district include $9,214,948 for Abbotsford, $6,822,206 for Auburndale, $13,905,640 for Black River Falls, $10,360,674 for Colby, $2,218,171 for Granton, $2,687,809 for Greenwood, $4,893,354 for Loyal, $29,999,093 for Marshfield, $6,185,532 for Neillsville, $3,673,643 for Owen-Withee, $3,309,644 for Pittsville, $6,562,836 for Spencer, $8,903,161 for Stanley-Boyd, $7,036,369 for Stratford, $5,549,175 for Thorp, and $43,835,689 for Wisconsin Rapids.
