The News:\u00a0<\/strong>The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) has released a statement after the state of Wisconsin released open enrollment data record enrollment in the state\u2019s open enrollment program.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Open enrollment allows more than 72,000 students to attend a school that works better for them in another public school district. The program has grown by 18% since the 2018 school year. The losses and gains are reflective of school performance. Milwaukee (reading proficiency 15.7%) was among the biggest losers. The biggest gaining districts\u2014like McFarland\u2014tend to be located near districts with poor performance.<\/div>\n
