New High Cost Transportation Aid Program
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | October 21, 2013
2013 Wisconsin Act 20(Section 121.59, Wisconsin Statutes) created a new categorical aid program that provides additional funding to school districts in Wisconsin that have higher per pupil transportation costs when compared to the statewide average per pupil transportation cost. Each district with a per pupil transportation cost that exceeds one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the statewide average per pupil transportation cost will receive a share of this categorical aid. The $5,000,000 appropriation will be dispersed in June, 2014 and the aid payment will be based on audited information from the previous fiscal year (2012-13).
New information is available on the DPI School Financial Services Team web site at the link to “Aid Information” or go here. The new information is a description of the program and aid calculation and an aid estimate of the school districts that could have been eligible as projected by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau at the time the legislation was discussed.
Remember, this estimate is based on 2011-12 data assuming the program was in effect in 2012-13. Actual aid will be based on 2012-13 audited data.
Questions may be directed to Bruce Anderson, DPI School Administration Consultant (608-267-9707).
