Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (program), the state pays each participating private school in Milwaukee on behalf of the pupils attending the private school under the program. Currently, the state superintendent may withhold payment from a private school participating in the program if the private school fails to comply with the requirements of the program.
This bill permits the state superintendent to withhold payment from a private school participating in the program if a vendor, lender, or lessor to the private school submits evidence to the state superintendent that the private school is at least 60 days in arrears or default in any contractual payments in an amount of not less than $5,000, up to the amount by which the private school is in arrears or default.
