Wisconsin and Pennsylvania lawmakers can't agree on statewide school voucher expansion
Washington Independent By Mikhail Zinshteyn | 05.12.11 | 12:15 pm
Legislatures in two states that school choice advocates were hoping would pass statewide voucher programs are struggling to corral enough lawmaker support.
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania each have governors that support using taxpayer money to subsidize student enrollment in private schools. And while key players in the school choice movement — a coalition of wealthy investors, prominent Democrats, frustrated minority groups and many Republicans — agree on the core principle of providing an outlet to needy children in struggling school districts, Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) and Tom Corbett (R-Pa) would like to expand their respective states' voucher programs to all students; Walker would like to lift income eligibility requirements for his state's voucher program.
