At “Quasi-Public” Private Schools, 100% of Students Get Tuition Vouchers. There’s Almost No Accountability.
Private '100% schools' receive tuition vouchers funded by taxpayer dollars but operate with fewer standards and oversight than traditional public schools. The article details how institutions, like Atlas Preparatory Academy in Milwaukee, can conduct transactions (such as high compensation to board chairs or related consulting fees) that would be prohibited in a standard public school setting. Furthermore, voucher schools are not required to serve all children with disabilities, unlike public schools.
