In Milwaukee there are more ways to start a small school than in any urban area. New small schools may start within or in partnership with the Milwaukee Public Schools (for example, as a traditional school, a district charter school, or a “partnership” school under contract with the district), as an independent charter school authorized by the City of Milwaukee or UW-Milwaukee, or as a private school that can participate in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program.
TALC New Vision assists people who want to start small schools. TALC New Vision will issue grants of up to $50,000 to support the planning and up to $150,000 to support the implementation of small schools.
