Madison, WI — Americans for Prosperity–Wisconsin (AFP-WI) joined School Choice Wisconsin on Tuesday for its Capitol Rally in celebration of National School Choice Week. They joined parents, teachers, students, and lawmakers to highlight the importance of educational freedom and call for the defense of Wisconsin’s decades-old school choice program. Maintaining the program is one of AFP-WI’s top priorities in 2026, who kicked off the week with an op-ed on the importance of school choice published by AFP-WI State Director Megan Novak. 

“Wisconsin has always been the nation’s leader in school choice. Dozens of other states looked to our model for guidance when creating their own programs, and now that model is under threat,” Novak said. “Just this month we’ve had two statewide candidates promise to take away vouchers if elected, and numerous bills have been filed in the legislature with similar agendas. Educational freedom is a core component to bringing up the next generation of state leaders. The integrity of that freedom must be maintained.”
