The Madison Metropolitan School District will receive about $49.4 million in state general aid for the 2025-2026 school year.
This figure was expected and estimated over the summer in the district’s preliminary budget. The budget will be adopted at an Oct. 27 school board meeting.
“This confirmation from DPI reflects what we’ve been anticipating for the past several months,” Bob Soldner, MMSD’s assistant superintendent of financial services, said in a statement. “We built our budget using these projections, so there are no surprises, nor are there any changes to staffing or programming as a result of this aid certification.”
The aid is lower than last year’s, a statewide trend.
State general aid is the largest form of state support for K-12 public schools in Wisconsin.
