Per pupil aid plan proposed to replace Wisconsin school funding
A private taxpayers committee urged fixed grants of 350 dollars per pupil to replace Wisconsin’s present school aid system. They testified to the Joint Finance Committee as the state plans a 1961-63 budget of 152 million with a projected 4 million reduction under the reform proposal. The group named O E Parkinson, Andrew J Houwers, Byron W Retzlaff, and William A Sneider. They argued 350 dollars reflects statewide costs and proposed caps of 10 percent yearly cuts for high cost districts. State Superintendent George Watson said 97.6 percent of the budget would return to localities and that 24.5 percent of local costs would be covered, with pupil total at 700,000 last year and an expected 815,000 by 1965.
