Attendees will receive a hands-on, interactive approach to take the confusion out of school finance. They will gain a conceptual and historical understanding of the major components of the Wisconsin school finance system. Participants will have an interactive discussion that provides background on constitutional issues, court cases and today’s laws. Attendees will become acquainted with the basics of revenue limits, equalization aid, property taxes and referendums — how these components interrelate and how they impact board decision-making. School board members and administrators will leave the session with increased confidence in discussing school finance concepts and using this knowledge to help foster an environment of trust in their communities for the benefit of students.
