Wisconsin Private School Choice Programs Bond
Overview
Private schools participating in Wisconsin's School Choice Programs must carry this surety bond as a condition of enrollment in the state-administered voucher system. It protects Wisconsin families and the state against financial harm if your school fails to meet its obligations under the program. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded and move forward with your application.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your school has been accepted — or is applying — to participate in one of Wisconsin's Private School Choice Programs, and the state requires a surety bond before you can enroll students using voucher funds. Any private school seeking to receive state tuition payments through a Wisconsin choice program must hold this bond. Whether you operate a faith-based school, an independent academy, or any other qualifying private institution, this requirement applies to you. Without it, your school cannot lawfully accept choice program funding.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your school will fulfill its financial and programmatic obligations to participating students and the state of Wisconsin. If your school receives choice voucher funds but fails to deliver the required educational services or comply with program rules, the bond provides a financial remedy. It holds participating private schools accountable and gives Wisconsin families confidence that their children's education funding is protected. The state of Wisconsin is the obligee, and your school is the bonded principal.
When is it Required?
Before your school can begin enrolling students under a Wisconsin School Choice Program, this bond must already be in place. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction reviews participation applications, and bond documentation is part of that process — not an afterthought. Do not wait until enrollment opens to start. Get bonded now so your application is complete and your school is ready to accept students on time.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Wisconsin requirement and applies to private schools participating in any Wisconsin School Choice Program, regardless of which city or county your school is located in. It is a state-level obligation administered through Wisconsin's school choice oversight structure. There is no local or municipal version of this bond — the statewide requirement covers all participating institutions.
