Senate Bill 389 proposes significant changes to the per pupil adjustment for school district revenue limits in Wisconsin. The bill eliminates the current annual adjustment of $325 per pupil, which is applicable until the 2425 school year, starting with the calculation for the 2027-28 school year. This means that for the 2027-28 school year and any subsequent years, there will be no per pupil adjustment included in the revenue limit calculations for school districts. The bill amends several sections of the statutes to reflect this change, including the removal of the $325 adjustment for the specified school years and the introduction of new language to clarify the limits for future years.
Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding revenue limits for school districts, specifying that revenue cannot exceed certain calculated amounts for each school year beginning with the 2020-21 school year and ending with the 2026-27 school year. It also addresses the revenue limits for consolidated school districts, ensuring that these limits are determined according to the new provisions starting from the 2027-28 school year. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
