Wisconsin Sets More Referenda Records to Fund Schools. Focus
Wisconsin Policy Forum
Wisconsin voters approved a record number of referenda in 2024 to increase property taxes to fund their local schools, and nearly set a record for the most referenda to fund municipalities or counties. However, the approval rate for school ballot questions continued a downward trend. These trends raise questions about both the adequacy of current state funding and the impact on property taxpayers. This brief examines the these referenda throughout Wisconsin.
