What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill restores the Special Transfer Program (commonly known as Chapter

220), under which the state provides aid to school districts to support voluntary

efforts by school districts to reduce racial imbalance through interdistrict and

intradistrict pupil transfers. The program was closed to new pupils seeking a

transfer after the 2014-15 school year by

2015 Wisconsin Act 55
