In Wisconsin, school choice stretches back to the administrations of governor Tommy Thompson and Milwaukee mayor John Norquist when they implemented a school vouchers program in Milwaukee in the 1990s—The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP). [1] Originally the program had been open to pupils with a family income less than 175% of the federal poverty line, while only secular private schools were eligible for the program. [2]
In 2011, several changes occurred to the school choice programs in the state. Republican governor Scott Walker signed a budget which eliminated the previous enrollment cap for the MPCP, while the range of eligible incomes was expanded. Subsequently, the Republican controlled legislature passed the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, which expanded school choice programs across the state.
By fall 2020, students enrolled in private schools in Wisconsin numbered around 118,862. This represented a 1.53% decrease from the previous year. [3]
