The Central States Private Education Network, a new, grass-roots federal and state advocacy network, was created to promote the interests of all private schools in five Midwest states. Jeri Prochaska and Tom Netting, co-executive directors of CSPEN, said they started the network, based in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan, out of concerns that media were only reporting negative things about the sector.
