From Wisconsin Watch:

In theory, the families of children with special needs have many choices. But not in practice. 

Such students could apply to attend a private school with the help of a taxpayer-subsidized voucher, a program that enrolls 52,000 Wisconsin students. But such private schools also are allowed to expel students with disabilities if officials determine they cannot meet that child’s needs. 

Charter schools elsewhere have been accused of denying entrance to students with disabilities — due to the cost of accommodations or for fear of lowering test score averages.
