Voucher Expansion in Green Bay: Property Taxes Will Rise
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | February 20, 2013
As you know, Governor Walker’s K-12 budget proposals, if adopted, will initially expand private school vouchers into Green Bay and at least eight other school districts in Wisconsin.
School officials in the Green Bay Area Public Schools (GBAPS) have produced an analysis of the fiscal effect of private school voucher expansion in GBAPS.
The bottom line is this: If GBAPS has 200 voucher students, district taxpayers would pay an additional $1,231,080 in property taxes. If there were 500 voucher students, district taxpayers would pay an additional $3,131,972 in property taxes. As the number of private school voucher students increase, so will the additional property taxes for GBAPS taxpayers.
Private school voucher expansion means property taxes will rise.
