What happened
The Common Council in Appleton passed a resolution requiring a separate line on the tax bill to show funds supporting private school vouchers. The Grand Chute Town Board adopted the same resolution, meaning the change applies to residents in both Appleton and Grand Chute. The statewide private school choice program currently enrolls nearly 25,000 students.

Why it matters
The program allows families below a certain income threshold to receive tuition-free private school tuition. This system diverts taxpayer money that would otherwise be allocated for public education to offset private school costs.
