The Real Costs of Horrible Milwaukee Schools

The horrible Milwaukee Public Schools' financial FUBAR will cost almost every school district in the State due to the labyrinthine "school aid" formula the State uses to hand out tax money.  UPDATEto be clear, these losses of aid are a result of MPS' $250 million referendum and its consequent spending.

These are the LOSSES some districts will take based on Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates.

Elmbrook:  $672K

Franklin:  $260K

Hartford Union H.S.:  $100K

Kenosha:  $858K

Oconomowoc:  $500K

Pewaukee:  $366K

Waunakee:  $250K

It would be nice if school districts had enough 'slop' in their budgets to make up for this without program cuts or prop-tax increases.  But most don't.

Thanks again, Horrible Milwaukee!!!
