Transfer of Service

The Transfer of Service Exemption (WI Statute 121.91(4)(a) provides that a school district which assumes responsibility for a program or service from another governmental unit may request and be granted an exemption to the district revenue limit equal to the increased cost due to that program or service. If the service transferred is a student that requires Special Education or ESL services, the exemption will be reduced by the amount of categorical aid the district will receive the following year, as determined by DPI. If the previous governmental unit was another Wisconsin school district, that district's revenue limit may be reduced by an amount equal to their reduction in cost as a result of that transfer out.

I anticipate requesting Transfer of Service Exemption for 2-3 students.  This will be projected revenue savings of $20,000. These are submitted by August.  We have submitted two of these already to the Wausau School District and Gilman School District.
