IMPACT OF PRIVATE SCHOOL VOUCHERS & CHARTER SCHOOLS FROM THE RURAL SCHOOL PERSPECTIVE

AWSA Scientific Method AWSA prepared this educational cartoon on vouchers in Wisconsin. et et201517

Most Kids Attend Public School… Overall Enrollment ( ) Public Schools: 875,000 Private Schools: 120,000 Source: Department of Public Instruction. Public School Enrollment Data Private School Enrollment Data

Poverty is Growing in WI… Change in Free & Reduced Lunch ( ) Source: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. School Finance Maps. In many rural districts, more than half the students are eligible for free-and- reduced lunch. Wisconsin FRL Rate Doubles 2001: 21% 2012: 43%

Students are in Fewer Districts Change Student Membership ( ) In 2001, 1/3 rd of districts were in declining enrollment. By 2012, over 2/3rds districts were in declining enrollment. Today, 75% of our students are located in just 30% of our districts. Wisconsin FRL Rate Doubles 2001: 21% 2012: 43% Cumulative EnrollmentPercentile # of Districts % of Districts 209,53525%82% 419,38750%4111% 626,83475%11430% 871,551100%424100% Source: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Which Means Rural Districts Have Fewer Kids & Greater Poverty Wisconsin FRL Rate Doubles 2001: 21% 2012: 43% Source: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. School Finance Maps.

…And Rural Schools Face Specific Challenges  Declining enrollment;  Growing poverty;  Staff shortages;  Insufficient broadband infrastructure;  Higher transportation costs; and  Increasing numbers of English Language Learners (ELL). Small schools have less economy of scale, making technology and infrastructure investments more expensive (fewer students to absorb costs). Rural districts generally have fewer support staff and administrators (the superintendent often is a principal and business administrator), meaning there fewer staff to implement state and federal initiatives. Rural educators often receive lower compensation and wear many hats, requiring high levels of certification and commitment.

Enrollment Demographics 53% of Wisconsin Districts serve fewer than 1000 students. 68% of Wisconsin Districts serve fewer than 1500 students. 75% of Wisconsin Districts serve fewer than 2000 students. Rural Wisconsin is home to 44 percent of the state’s 860,000 public school students

SCHOOL FINANCE

The share of the state budget spent on K-12 is at a 20-year low Source: Legislative Fiscal Bureau As programs like Medicaid consume a larger share of the state budget, K-12’s share declines (even as the state invests new money)

During the Great Recession, Revenue Limits Were Cut … Source: Department of Public Instruction State Budget State Budget.

Which has Resulted in Significant Staff Reductions Wisconsin schools cut more than 3,000 educators during the Great Recession. Source: Department of Public Instruction State Budget State Budget.

FUNDING EXPANSION OF STATEWIDE VOUCHERS AND PRIVATE CHARTER SCHOOLS

Most Kids Attend Public School Total Enrollment ( ) Public Schools: 875,000 Private Schools: 120,000 Source: Department of Public Instruction. Public School Enrollment Data Private School Enrollment Data

Charter Schools & Independent (2r) Charters Schools In , Wisconsin had:  242 charters* schools with  47,600 students. Charters are public schools that are generally authorized by the local school board. However, Milwaukee and Racine have independent charter schools that are created by: UW – Milwaukee (12) City of Milwaukee (10) UW – Parkside (1) Milwaukee Area Technical College (0) The 23 Independent (2r) charter schools enroll 8,400 students, but are funded differently. Independent charter schools are 100% state funded (no property tax), but only receive $7,925 per-pupil ($8,075 in 14-15). However, this state funding is created by withholding ≈1.4% of every district’s general aid and redirecting it to the independent charters. Local districts then can increase their property taxes to make up the difference – essentially raising property taxes statewide. * This includes instrumentality, non-instrumentality, independent and virtual charter schools.

Voucher Programs Started Small, But Have Grown Over Time In 1998, the State Supreme Court ruled that religious schools could participate in the voucher program. In , the Voucher Program cost ≈ $734,000 In , the Voucher Program will cost: ≈ $212,000,000 Source: Department of Public Instruction. Private School Choice Programs - Facts & Figures.

Most Students in Voucher Schools are Publicly-Funded Milwaukee PCP average: 79% Racine PCP average: 44% Wisconsin PCP average: 4% All PCP schools average:64% The % of voucher-funded students in participating schools (particularly K-8 schools) tends to grow over time. Source: Department of Public Instruction. Private School Choice Programs - Facts & Figures.

…And Most Statewide Voucher Students Come From Private Schools Statewide Choice Program Applications: 3/4ths of the students were already enrolled in private schools Source: Department of Public Instruction. Private School Choice Programs - Facts & Figures.

Most Statewide Voucher Students Came From Private Schools Statewide Choice Program Enrollment (FTE): Less than 1/5 th of participants came from a public school Source: Department of Public Instruction. Private School Choice Programs - Facts & Figures.

However, Voucher Schools Still Get Less Per-Pupil Funding Per-Pupil Revenue Authority by School Type Public school revenue has not caught up to the 2010 funding level. Source: Department of Public Instruction State Budget Information.

A Voucher in Every Backpack? What would universal vouchers with public school funding parity cost? Let’s do the math… Total additional (marginal) cost for universal vouchers: $ 1,007,003,200 ($1 billion) Source: Department of Public Instruction State Budget Information. Note: calculations are updated to determine marginal, rather than total program costs.
