Wisconsin has been named a top state for charter schools at the pre-kindergarten level, according to a new report, Pre-K and Charter Schools: Where State Policies Create Barriers to Collaboration. The report, by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, ranked Wisconsin in the top five states offering a hospitable climate for charter schools seeking to offer Pre-K.

According to Wisconsin’s State Superintendent Tony Evers, “Wisconsin enshrined education for 4-year-olds in our state’s constitution, making it easier for all public schools, including charter schools, to offer preschool services to children and families in their communities. We also have strong chartering laws that encourage collaboration.”
