Bill > SB314

This bill modifies Wisconsin's statewide parental choice program by permanently establishing the pupil participation limit at 10 percent of a school district's membership. Currently, the law allows an increasing percentage of students in a school district to attend private schools through the parental choice program, with a gradual rise from 1 percent in the 2015-16 school year to 10 percent in the 2025-26 school year. The bill removes the sunset provision that would have ended the pupil participation limit after the 2025-26 school year, effectively making the 10 percent cap a permanent feature of the program. This means that going forward, no school district can have more than 10 percent of its students attending private schools through the statewide parental choice program. The changes are technical in nature, primarily involving the removal of time-limited language and establishing a fixed participation percentage, which will provide more long-term predictability for school districts and parents participating in the school choice program.
