What is the Parental Choice Program?
Wisconsin's 4 parental choice programs let eligible families choose a private school using state dollars toward tuition — giving families access they couldn't otherwise afford.
Across the state's 4 choice programs, more than 60,000 students are enrolled today.
What it means for Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program was created in 1990, the first of its kind in the country, it serves nearly 30,000 Milwaukee students today. That's roughly 1 in 4 Milwaukee children whose families chose their school.
All 4 choice programs in Wisconsin could be affected depending on who wins the race.
