Last Update: September 15, 2005
A new report produced by School Choice Wisconsin details recent cooperation between the Department of Public Instruction and the School Choice community in developing permanent administrative rules for Act 155, a set of financial viability measures for choice schools. Since the law was enacted in March of 2004, Act 155 has strengthened the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) by removing five troubled schools, and barring 51 from opening.
The report also highlights the educational accountability measurers in the MPCP, including plans for a longitudinal study to be conducted by the respected School Choice Demonstration Project out of Georgetown University. The full report can be viewed by clicking on the link below.
