Assembly Bill 391 proposes significant changes to the per pupil adjustment for school district revenue limits in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill eliminates the current annual adjustment of $325 per pupil that has been in place until the 2425 school year. Starting with the 2027-28 school year, there will be no per pupil adjustment in the revenue limit calculations for school districts, which will affect how much funding they can receive from general school aids and property taxes.
The bill also includes several amendments to existing statutes, such as specifying that for the 2027-28 school year and any subsequent years, there will be no adjustments to the revenue limit calculations. Additionally, it clarifies that school districts cannot increase their revenues beyond a certain calculated amount for each school year beginning with the 2020-21 school year and ending with the 2026-27 school year. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
