Title
Eliminating income limits for parental choice programs; eliminating pupil participation limits for the statewide parental choice program
Description
PFPS Summary: AB 970 eliminates income eligibility limits for three of Wisconsin’s voucher programs--the statewide Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, and the Racine Parental Choice Program—and eliminates the cap on the number of students who may participate in the statewide program. The bill also increases the family income threshold amount that determines whether a private school may charge additional tuition to voucher students from 220% to 300% of the federal poverty level. In addition, it creates a temporary education expense reimbursement program for the 2022-23 school year and the summer of 2023 under which families of public school students may receive a reimbursement of up to $1,000 after purchasing educational materials or attending a course offered by an approved educational provider, including a private school.
