Revenue Limits
Overview
In the fall of 1993, the Wisconsin legislature (s. 121.90) instituted a limit or control on the revenue a school district is entitled to receive each year. The control applies to revenue received from two sources:
- general state aid (equalization, special adjustment and integration aids); and
- select local levies (General Operations-Fund 10, Capital Projects-Fund 41 and Non-Referendum Debt-Fund 38).
The results of this computation can have significant impact on district finances, as general state aids and the General Fund (Fund 10) tax levy can comprise anywhere from 70-90 percent of a district's total General Fund revenues.
