Voucher School Faces Penalty Unless Improvements Made
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | December 9, 2014
?As reported by Erin Richards of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a long-standing voucher school operator is under orders from the state to shape up her organization’s reporting processes and meet other requirements or face getting kicked out of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program.
The founder of Ceria M. Travis Academy suggests that DPI is the “bad guy” in this case. Travis Academy has missed four state deadlines for submitting financial documents in recent years. By state law, that is grounds for removal from the program.
Here are a couple more interesting facts taken from the article:
” . . . just 2% of students at Ceria M. Travis Academy were proficient in reading in fall 2013, according to the most recent statewide test score results. The average reading proficiency for voucher schools in 2013 was about 12%.”
Dorothy Travis Moore’s “total compensation was $218,000 in 2012, according to the most recent federal filings for the nonprofit.”
