WI AB570

When a pupil withdraws mid-year from a parental choice program, Special Needs Scholarship Program, or independent charter school and enrolls in a public school district, the Department of Public Instruction must redirect any remaining per-pupil payments to the enrolling school district rather than the private school or charter school

Currently, DPI pays annual per-pupil amounts to private choice schools and independent charter schools in four equal installments throughout the school year

Applies to the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, Racine Parental Choice Program, Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, Special Needs Scholarship Program, and independent charter schools
