Coccus[edit] A coccus (plural cocci, from the Latin coccinus (scarlet) and derived from the Greek kokkos (berry)) is any microorganism (usually bacteria) whose overall shape is spherical or nearly spherical. Describing a bacterium as a coccus, or sphere, distinguishes it from bacillus, or rod.
Over the past 10 years, Wisconsin taxpayers have paid about $139 million to private schools that were subsequently barred from the stateâs voucher system for failing to meet requirements related to finances, accredita tion, student safety and auditing, a State Journal review has found.

The District of Columbia, Ohio, Louisiana, and Wisconsin each have voucher programs that target urban or poorly performing school districts, as the Illinois proposal does. We have provided details on the District of Columbia, Ohio, Louisiana, and Wisconsin programs below.
