To the editor,
At a time when many parents are looking for alternatives to public education, more schools in Wisconsin's parental choice programs can stay open because of their largest funding increase in history.
State aid is rising by $1,101, to $9,500 for kindergarten through eighth grade students in private choice schools and $2,955 to $12,000 for high school choice students. Funding will increase $1,736 to $11,000 for students in independent public charter schools, closer to what traditional public schools get.
Thanks to Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, the legislation passed to Gov. Evers desk and he wisely signed it into law.
Wisconsin's future is the winner.
Stephanie Brown
Chair, Republican Party of Pierce County
