Local Distribution of Sparsity Aid
Several local schools are receiving sparsity aid, according to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Sparsity aid was awarded in the 2017-2018 school year to 144 school districts to help address the needs of rural schools. A district must have no more than 745 student and fewer than 10 students per square mile to be eligible for the aid. The membership total from eligible school districts required that the statutory sparsity aid payment of $300 per member be prorated at 98.84 percent this year for an actual payment of $296.52 per member. The sparsity aid was paid on the third Monday in September to each district’s general fund.
“Across the state, the local school is the heart of the community. Its activities extend past the classroom as a gathering place for academic, athletic and other social activities that hold communities together. As a major employer, schools also support the local economy,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “The sparsity aid program is an important support to our small school districts.”
