Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the Department of Public Instruction from making certain reductions in state aid paid to a school district until the electors of a school district have approved the reduction in state aid by a referendum vote. Current law requires DPI to reduce the state aid paid to a school district in a school year by the amount paid in that school year to a private school participating in the Racine or statewide parental choice program for each pupil who resides in that school district but who attends a private school under the Racine or statewide parental choice program.
