WPSBA'S AID ANALYSIS IS ON FIRE
NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS IN THE PAST, this year's aid analysis includes a look at UPK and the upcoming changes both in dollars and slots being funded by the state in each district for 2022-23. We know legislators are saying a lot about how much overall money is going toward UPK funding, but we broke it down to see just how much of that funding is coming to our region. The analysis also shows the impact of Foundation Aid funding increases and other state aid.
SEIZE THE DATA
THE NEW, UPDATED VERSION OF WPSBA'S Facts & Figure$ publication is expected soon. But until you can see it face-to-face, get a preview by checking out the e-book, accessible through our website. Be the first to see the expanded look at each district, with added diversity and technology data, among other improvements (including two pages for each local school district).
THE YELLOW SCHOOL BUS FIVE YEAR CONVERSION
THE CHANGEOVER TO ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSES is going to be a big job for school districts, including an overhaul of electrical infrastructure and bus routes. Although a gift to the environment, state and federal funding streams have limitations, which adds a financial burden to schools as well. There are even more hurdles considering current supply chain issues, but many are optimistic about the feasibility of this conversion.
