SB 366 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: technical education equipment grants. (FE)

SB 366 amends rules for technical education equipment grants to clarify how funds can be used and require matching contributions. It allows grant recipients (primarily school districts) to use funds for facility improvements, tools, equipment, or instructional software in construction and advanced manufacturing programs. The bill requires recipients to provide matching funds equal to the grant amount, which can be cash or in-kind contributions like equipment or software. This change directly affects school districts seeking these grants by adding a funding match requirement.
