Wisconsin Supreme Court Bans Negative School Aids
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the 1973 negative school aids formula unconstitutional in a 4-3 decision. Justice Conner Hansen wrote the opinion, saying the plan violated uniform taxation and that revenues were raised locally, not by state taxes. Dissenters questioned the erosion of local control and the potential drop in educational quality.
