A private school is opening its doors to new students through the Wisconsin Parental Choice program, also known as school vouchers. The program allows families to use public tax dollars to pursue a private education at Luther High School.
Onalaska's Luther High School staff and students are getting ready to move out of their classrooms for the final phase of a $10 million expansion project. The private school's board approved the $2 million budget needed for the final building renovations Wednesday night.
More than 200 schools are taking part in Wisconsin's school voucher program, including 2 schools in Sparta.
More La Crosse-area families have an opportunity for free private school education.
The Wisconsin Legislature now requires private choice schools to report students' test scores so that both public and voucher schools receiving taxpayer dollars are being held publicly accountable for student performance.
