An Act

to create
115.7915 (4m) (em), 118.40 (2r) (e) 3n., 118.40 (2x) (e) 3.,
2
118.60 (4) (d) and 119.23 (4) (d) of the statutes;
relating to:
payments for
3
pupils who withdraw from a parental choice program, the Special Needs
4
Scholarship Program, or an independent charter school.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, for each pupil attending a private school under a parental choice program or the Special Needs Scholarship Program and for each pupil attending an independent charter school, the Department of Public Instruction pays a per pupil amount to the private school participating in a parental choice program or the Special Needs Scholarship Program or to the independent charter school. DPI pays the annual per pupil amount to the private school or independent charter school in four equal installments. Under the bill, if, during the school year, a pupil withdraws from a private school participating in a parental choice program or the Special Needs Scholarship Program or from an independent charter school and enrolls in a school district, DPI must pay any remaining amount due to the private school or independent charter school for that pupil to the school district in which the pupil is enrolled.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
