St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran School won an appeal to receive $30,000 in scholarships through Wisconsin’s Special Needs Scholarship Program.
The Wisconsin Department of Instruction initially denied the school’s request for the school choice funding for three students but the scholarships were awarded after the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed a legal appeal of the ruling.
“DPI’s previously held position jeopardized critical funding for St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran School and their ability to help students in need,” associate counsel Lauren Greuel of the institute said in a statement, “WILL continues to assist choice schools receive the support owed to them by the Wisconsin state law.”
