WISCONSIN SCHOOL FINANCE RESOURCES

• NEW Video! Introduction to School Funding in Wisconsin
  
  School funding can be difficult to communicate. Along with our partners at WASBO and Captivate Media, we’re excited to share this animated video that will help schools more easily communicate the way schools in Wisconsin are funded. With more than a third of districts in the state likely going to referendum in 2024, this is a tool that member schools can use at no cost. A customized version is also available for districts to communicate specific information about their funding situation for a small fee. 
  > CLICK HERE to download the video and to learn more about customizing the video for your district.
  > HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A CUSTOMIZED VERSION, compliments of the Racine Unified School District.
