Hundreds Of Wisconsin School Register For Voucher Programs

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction reports more than 380 private and religious schools in the state want to participate in voucher programs.  They have all registered for the 2018-2019 school year.  More than one-third of those schools — 133 — want to take part in the voucher program in Milwaukee.  That’s a gain of eight schools over this current school year.  Forty-eight new schools have registered for the statewide voucher program.  Students who qualify at schools in the voucher programs can have their tuition expenses covered by state subsidies.
