WEST ALLIS – School Choice Wisconsin issued the following statement after Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu announced legislation to strengthen and solidify the school choice programs in Wisconsin with increased per-pupil funding.
“This is great news, not only for the students and families that participate in Wisconsin’s choice programs, but for the entire state,” SCW President Nicholas Kelly said. “Students in our private choice schools grow academically and spiritually in our classrooms and are beacons of hope in our communities once they graduate. This important funding will ensure these opportunities exist for a long time. Thank you to Speaker Vos, Majority Leader LeMahieu and Governor Evers for working across the aisle and with choice advocates to come to an historic agreement that puts students first. School Choice Wisconsin applauds your willingness to work together so that students attending all schools in Wisconsin – public, private choice and charter are supported with additional resources.”
