Voters in Nebraska and Kentucky Reject School Choice Initiatives

Nebraska voters have repealed Legislative Bill 1402, which provided scholarships for private school students, leaving families like Sierra Shouse's uncertain about future educational options. The repeal, supported by a voter referendum, reflects ongoing debates over "school choice" policies, which opponents argue could reduce public school funding. The Nebraska Supreme Court's recent ruling may complicate future legislative efforts to allocate public funds to private education. As the state legislature prepares for its 2025 session, the focus may shift towards addressing teacher shortages and public school support.
