Milwaukee Grant Information

The 2022–23 Superintendent’s Proposed Budget does reflect an overall decrease of $746.5 million, or a 36% decrease, from the 2021–22 Amended Adopted Budget. Although the district has until September 2024 to spend Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds, the full amount was recognized in 2022. As a result, total revenue has decreased in 2023. The following significant budget changes are proposed for 2022–23:

Increase school-based funding by $25.6 million.

Provide a 4.7% cost of living salary increase for all staff.

Implement the third phase of the new music, art, and physical education policies.

Implement the third year of recurring referendum for an additional $7.0 million, totaling $84.0 million.
