MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction announces $11.4 million to expand state charter schools.
DPI says the investment will go towards planning and implementation for charter schools opening in fall 2025, implementation for charter schools that recently opened or will open in 2024, and expansion for existing high-quality charter schools. According to DPI, a high-quality charter school must show evidence of strong academic performance, operate in a financially appropriate manner, meet statutory regulations, and demonstrate success in increasing graduation rates and other student academic achievement.
More information on charter schools can be found on the DPI’s website.
