Lift the Cap for more schools like this

The paper has a straightforward story today on another Milwaukee Parental Choice School cut off for not meeting minimum requirements:

Northside High School, 4840 W. Fond du Lac Ave., does not meet standards set by law for an organization to be considered a private school and, because it is not legally a school, it cannot receive money supporting schools, the state's deputy schools superintendent, Tony Evers, said in a letter to Ricardo Brooks, the CEO of the school.

Evers said neither the day nor evening programs at the school provided the 875 hours of instruction that are the minimum required by law and the school did not provide "a sequentially progressive curriculum in the six required subjects" listed in the law.

The $310k or so of your taxpayer dollars already sunk into the school is likely gone for good, but we can hope that--pending a possible appeal of some sort (these kinds of closures, and, therefore, appeals, are unprecedented)--no more of your money will be wasted.

Remember: Problem solved if they would just pass my plan.
