The request marks the fourth time Evers has asked the Legislature to change the state’s funding formula.

Part of the overhaul would eliminate a special funding stream to pay for students living in high poverty and factor more money into the main funding formula for the same purpose.

The budget also asks for increases in state-imposed revenue caps and would set a minimum amount of money the state sends to schools, regardless of how wealthy a district is. Each district would get a minimum of $3,000 per student under the request.

Twenty school districts won’t get general state aid in the 2016-17 school year because of the high property wealth in the district, according to DPI.

The same proposals have been rejected in three previous state budgets since they were first introduced by Evers in 2010.

But the Republican lawmakers who control the Legislature and Walker have signaled a shift in attitude toward K-12 funding, which was significantly cut in Walker’s first budget and virtually held flat in the last budget. Walker has repeatedly said this year that more money must be invested in K-12 schools.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said last week that K-12 funding will likely be a priority in the upcoming budget.
