Private School Vouchers; New GED test requirements

Featured in this Show

  • Private school voucher debate

    The Wisconsin legislature is considering an expansion of the state’s private school voucher program. Vouchers give families money from the state to send students from the public school system in Wisconsin to a private school. Right now, the program is in Milwaukee and Racine, but Governor Scott Walker has proposed expanding private school choice to nine other school districts. The La Crosse area would not be impacted by the governor’s proposal, but there has been a lot of opposition to the idea from this part of the state.
