The Milwaukee Post

May 30, 2014 • Milwaukee County Post • 5 MILWAUKEE – Citing an increase in the number of schools applying, state Sen. Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa, last week called for caps in the statewide school voucher system to be either raised or removed, while Democrats argued for more investment in public schools, saying the program was a sub- sidy for those already attending private school. While 75 percent of applicants were already attending a private school, the num- ber of applicants far exceeded the program's cap. The program, which is headed into its sec- ond year in 2014-15, currently is limited to 1,000 students. The cap was 500 students dur- ing the current school year. "We must raise or eliminate the cap for the statewide program in the coming legisla- tive session, so that each child, regardless of their ZIP code, has access to the best available education," Vukmir said. The statewide school choice program allows students whose family income is below 185 percent of the federal poverty line, and reside in a Wisconsin school district out- side the Milwaukee or Racine Unified dis- tricts, to use a taxpayer-funded voucher to attend private or religious schools with no charge for tuition. Vukmir noted that 68 schools applied for the program this year, a 41 percent increase from the previous year. Mike Tate, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said public schools had been harmed by money being used for the vouch- er program. "It harms our kids and Wisconsin's bottom line when we take from our public schools in favor of funding an unnecessary and expensive entitle- ment like taxpayer subsi- dies for parents who already send their kids to private school," Tate said. – Arthur Thomas, Conley News Service Vukmir, Dems at odds over voucher program Vukmir Both sides give contrasting perspectives on statewide program STINKY GRINGO •MARGARITA •STRAW MARGARITA $12.99- $5MR $ 7 99 Voted "Best Beer & Liquor Store" 2001-12 by Shepherd Express Readers ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Awarded 2013 Best Bottle Shop in Wisconsin by RateBeer.com Celebrating 54 Years •FULL SERVICE LIQUOR STORE WITH DISCOUNT LOW PRICES! •WHOLESALE BEER & SODA •CO2 REFILLS •20 & 40LB.
