Effects of Revenue Caps |
Introduction and Background
Since 1994, the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA) and the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) have surveyed school superintendents to learn how the revenue caps have affected programs and services offered by school districts. This is the sixth consecutive study.
The response rates of superintendents consistently have been high: 79% in 1994, 77% in 1995, 70% in 1996, 72% in 1997, and 74% in 1998. This year, 321 districts (75%) joined in the study. This year's participating districts represent more than 721,000 (82%) of Wisconsin's public school students. The districts participating in each of the six studies are not identical. Nevertheless, superintendents from the same districts have tended to return completed questionnaires during the past six years.
This report was prepared by Russ Allen, an Instruction and Professional Development Research Consultant at WEAC.
