What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits a pupil who has attended a private school under the
Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, or the
statewide parental choice program (parental choice program) or the Special Needs
Scholarship Program and who has completed the highest grade level at that private
school from attending any other private school under a parental choice program or
the SNSP.
Also under this bill, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, no private school may
participate in a parental choice program unless the school was participating in the
program in the 2019-20 school year. Also under the bill, no pupil may attend a
private school under a parental choice program unless the pupil was attending that
private school under the program in the 2019-20 school year.
Finally, under this bill, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, no private school
may accept pupils under the SNSP unless the school was participating in the
program in the 2019-20 school year, and no pupil may attend a private school under
the SNSP unless the pupil was attending that private school under the program in
the 2019-20 school year. Under current law, a child with a disability who meets
certain eligibility criteria may receive a scholarship to attend a private school
participating in the SNSP.
