School Choice Trailer Bill Passes Senate
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | October 20, 2011
On Tuesday, the State Senate passed Senate Bill 174, the School Choice Trailer Bill, on a voice vote. SB 174 would prohibit any school district which has not already qualified for the school choice program from qualifying after the effective date of the bill. So far, only Racine has qualified and opened its choice program earlier this school year. The bill would require lawmakers to vote on any further expansion of private school vouchers. The SAA strongly supports SB 174. The bill was messaged to the Assembly. The Assembly companion bill, AB 314, received a public hearing before the Assembly Education Committee yesterday.
