  • 20.255 (2) (bq)

    This creates a new section that establishes supplemental state aid for consolidated school districts.

  • 121.134

    Supplemental state aid; consolidated school districts. (1) In this section: (a) “Consolidated school district” means a school district created by a consolidation under s. 117.08 or 117.09 that takes effect on or after July 1, 2026. (b) “Levy rate” means the total amount of property taxes levied by a school district divided by the school district’s equalized valuation. (c) “Underlying school district” means a school district that is consolidated to create a consolidated school district. (2) The department shall determine whether a consolidated school district is eligible for aid under this section as follows: (a) Calculate the levy rate for each underlying school district in the school year prior to the school year in which the consolidation takes effect. (b) Identify the lowest levy rate calculated under par. (a). (c) Calculate the levy rate for the consolidated school district for the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, assuming that the consolidated school district will levy the maximum amount allowable under s. 121.91 for that school year and will not receive aid under this section for that school year. (d) If the levy rate under par. (c) is equal to or less than the levy rate under par. (b), the consolidated school district is not eligible for aid under this section. (e) If the levy rate under par. (c) is more than the levy rate under par. (b), the consolidated school district is eligible for aid under this section. (3) Subject to sub. (4), the department shall pay a consolidated school district that is determined to be eligible for aid under sub. (2) (e), the following amounts: (a) In the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, an amount calculated as follows: 1. Subtract the levy rate identified under sub. (2) (b) from the levy rate determined under sub. (2) (c). 2. Multiply the amount determined under subd. 1. by the consolidated school district’s equalized valuation for the school year in which the consolidation takes effect. (b) In the school year following the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, 80 percent of the amount determined under par. (a). (c) In the 2nd school year following the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, 60 percent of the amount determined under par. (a). (d) In the 3rd school year following the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, 40 percent of the amount determined under par. (a). (e) In the 4th school year following the school year in which the consolidation takes effect, 20 percent of the amount determined under par. (a). (4) If the amount appropriated for aid under this section in any fiscal year is insufficient to pay the full amount under sub. (3), the department shall prorate the payments among the consolidated school districts entitled to aid under this section.

    This new section outlines the eligibility criteria and calculation for supplemental state aid for newly consolidated school districts.
