What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill repeals reductions to state aid paid to school districts for per pupil payments to independent charter schools authorized by the Office of Educational Opportunity in the UW System, the chancellor of an institution in the UW System other than the UW-Milwaukee or UW-Parkside, a technical college district board other than the Milwaukee area technical college district board, the county executive of Waukesha County, the college of Menominee Nation, or the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa community college (a “new charter school authorizer”).
Under current law, per pupil payments to an independent charter school authorized by a new charter school authorizer are paid from sum sufficient appropriations, ensuring that full payments are made to independent charter schools. Current law also requires DPI to reduce each school district's equalization aid by an amount equal to the total per pupil payments paid to these independent charter schools that are attributable to pupils residing in that school district. If a school district does not receive equalization aid sufficient to cover the aid reduction, the balance is reduced from other state aid received by the school district. These aid reductions are deposited in the general fund. In general, these reductions reimburse the general fund for per pupil payments made to independent charter schools that are authorized by new charter school authorizers.

The bill eliminates reductions to equalization aid for per pupil payments made to these independent charter schools beginning in the 2024-25 school year. The 2021-23 biennial budget eliminated reductions to equalization aid for payments made to independent charter schools authorized by the City of Milwaukee, the chancellor of UW-Milwaukee, the chancellor of UW-Parkside, or the Milwaukee area technical college district board, also known as legacy charter school authorizers.
Under current law, a pupil for whom a per pupil payment was made to an independent charter school authorized by a new charter school authorizer in the previous year is included in the pupil's resident school district's membership for purposes of calculating general state aids. A school district's membership in the previous school year is a factor used to calculate equalization aid. Additionally, under current law, pupils attending an independent charter school authorized by a new charter school authorizer are included in their resident school district's pupil count for purposes of calculating revenue limits.
The bill repeals both of these provisions. Under the bill, a pupil attending an independent charter school authorized by a new charter school authorizer is not included in the pupil's resident school district membership beginning in the 2025-26 school year and is not counted as enrolled in the pupil's resident school district for purposes of revenue limits beginning in the 2024-25 school year.
