What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
