What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill changes the calculation of the per pupil amount the Department of Public Instruction pays to participating private schools in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, and the statewide parental choice program, known as the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (collectively, parental choice programs).
Under current law, for each pupil attending a private school under a parental choice program, DPI pays the participating private school an amount set by law. In the 2020-21 school year, the per pupil payment amount for a pupil in grades kindergarten to eight is $8,300 and the per pupil payment amount for a pupil in grades nine to twelve is $8,946. Current law provides an alternative calculation for a pupil attending a private school participating in a parental choice program that enrolls pupils in grades kindergarten to eight and grades nine to twelve.

Under the bill, for each pupil attending a private school under a parental choice program, DPI must pay the private school participating in the parental choice program the lesser of the per pupil amount under current law or the amount the private school charges a pupil who is not attending the private school under a parental choice program for tuition and fees.
