Lighthouse Christian School will lose $1.2 million if Biden succeeds at eliminating parental school choice

Hs 05

Biden’s elimination of school choice would result in a $1.2 million loss for Lighthouse Christian School in Madison if Biden administration bans Wisconsin’s Parental School Choice Program.

Biden promised last month to aggressively pursue the political agenda of teachers unions if he wins the White House in November. A top priority: eliminating public school competition from charter schools and private school choice programs.

According to the Wisconsin State Board of Public Instruction, 187 students received an average of $6,191 in Parental School Choice funding.

The average spent on a public school student statewide was $13,462.

Wisconsin’s school choice program is one of the nation’s largest and a top target of the National Education Association, which claims more than 30,000 members.

“You don’t just have a partner in the White House, you’ll have an NEA (National Education Association) member in the White House,” Biden said.
