Understanding School Vouchers and Your Taxes

Manitowoc Public School District and Two Rivers Public School District are working together to help our communities better understand how Wisconsin’s private school voucher system can affect public school funding and local property taxes.

Following a recent public forum hosted by the League of Women Voters at the Manitowoc Public Library, the districts are sharing information, answering questions, and providing resources in plain language. Our goal is to provide clear, easy-to-understand information and create space for community questions.

Have questions? Here are a few quick answers.

What is a school voucher?

In simple terms, school vouchers allow public dollars to help pay for some students to attend participating private schools.


Why does this matter?

The way vouchers are funded can affect public school district finances and may influence local property taxes. District leaders are working to provide clear information so taxpayers can better understand how the system works.


FAQ: More Answers Coming Soon

MPSD and Two Rivers are developing a School Voucher FAQ based on community questions.

Example questions:

  • What are school vouchers and how do they work?
  • How do vouchers affect public schools?
  • How can vouchers affect local property taxes?
  • How are vouchers different from open enrollment?
  • Why are school leaders asking for greater transparency?

 

We want to hear from you.

Ask a question about vouchers or school funding.
