Lutheran school receives special needs funds after appeal – Washington Examiner
St.Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran School in Wisconsin successfully appealed for $30,000 in scholarships from the state’s Special Needs Scholarship program after the Wisconsin Department of Instruction initially denied funding for three students. The legal appeal was filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), which argued that the department’s decision jeopardized essential funding for the school and its ability to assist students in need. The special needs scholarship program supports 3,000 students with disabilities attending private schools in the state. School Principal Jill M. George expressed surprise at the denial and emphasized that the school followed all necessary protocols to secure the funding.

“Our school followed all protocols and procedures to receive this funding,” said St. Paul’s Lutheran School Principal Jill M.
