This report provides the specific information required by law for the 2023-24 school year (paid during FY 2025).  \nChapter 115, Subchapter VII, Wisconsin Statutes provides partial, yet critical, funding for English Learner (EL)1 students in the state whose language education needs must be met by the districts in which they are enrolled.
