Relating to: school district operating referenda.

Senate Bill 81 modifies the process for school district operating referenda in Wisconsin. It requires school board resolutions for referenda to clearly specify if proposed excess revenue is for recurring or nonrecurring purposes, and the exact amount for each. The bill also mandates that the referendum ballot itself must state if any approved excess revenue is for a nonrecurring purpose and its corresponding amount. A key change is that only excess revenue approved for recurring purposes will be included in the base for determining future revenue limits, while nonrecurring excess revenue will not be added to this base. This affects how school districts manage their budgets and how voters are informed about these proposals.
