Neighboring Schools Participating in Wisconsin Parental Choice Program
Friday, February 5th, 2016 -- 8:17 AM
-One-hundred-thirty-five private nonsectarian and religious schools and school systems registered with the Department of Public Instruction by the Jan. 10 deadline to accept students for the 2016-17 school year through the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP).Twenty-three schools that previously participated in either the Milwaukee or Racine Parental Choice programs or both are registering to join the WPCP for the first time in 2016-17. In addition, there are 31 new private schools applying to participate in the statewide voucher program. The WPCP allows students who reside outside of the Milwaukee and Racine Unified school districts to use a taxpayer-funded subsidy to attend participating private or religious schools.
Eligible students in grades kindergarten through eight may attend the private school with no charge for tuition. Eligible students continuing in grades nine through 12 may be charged tuition if their family income exceeds 220 percent of the federal poverty level. Some nearby schools participating include Saint Joseph's Catholic School in Boyd and Columbus Catholic Schools in Marshfield.
