MADISON - The number of students receiving private-school tuition vouchers in Wisconsin is nearing 30,000, making the state a leader when it comes to taxpayer-funded tuition subsidies.
An official state headcount conducted in September determined almost 29,700 students were enrolled in the three voucher programs in Milwaukee, Racine and statewide. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1G9NEJF ) reports enrollment in voucher programs has grown significantly and will likely continue to do so under the leadership of Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
