School Overview

To clarify, the **New Lisbon Correctional Institution (NLCI)** is not a school in the academic sense, but rather a medium-security correctional facility operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Located in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, the facility houses approximately 1,000 adult male inmates. Its primary function is to maintain public safety through the secure incarceration of offenders while providing a structured environment that focuses on behavior modification and institutional operations.

Although it is a prison, the institution places a significant emphasis on rehabilitation and reentry preparation. The facility offers various programs designed to help inmates transition back into society, including vocational training, educational opportunities (such as GED/HSED programs), and substance abuse treatment. By providing these resources, New Lisbon Correctional Institution aims to reduce recidivism by equipping individuals with the skills and behavioral tools necessary to become productive members of the community upon their release.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
