The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has launched a new interactive map showing how federal funding affects each school district across the state.

Federal funding is crucial to supporting the education and well-being of every student in Wisconsin. These resources help provide essential services for students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged families, youth mental health programs, and English language learners. They also support vital initiatives such as access to school meals, career and technical education, academic enrichment, and much more.

Use this map to explore how federal funding directly benefits your district and helps strengthen educational opportunities for all Wisconsin students.F

About the Map and Data

This map shows local school district US Department of Education (USDE) allocations (FY25), US Department of Agriculture (USDA) expenditures reimbursements (FY24), the total of those funds as a percentage of local revenue caps (FY25), and an estimate of how many educators and professional licensed staff could be funded using the USDE funding (based on average WI statewide total salary and benefits cost for educators and professional licensed staff) (FY 24).
