VTwo of the U.S. Department of Education's biggest responsibilities will shift to other federal agencies: safeguarding student civil rights and administering programs for students with disabilities.

The moves to the federal departments of Health and Human Services and Justice, respectively, would further dismantle an agency that President Donald Trump has vowed to close.

No different for Wisconsin.

No different for Wisconsin.

Studies have shown that voucher programs benefit the wealthy, not working families. In states that have vouchers, the majority of students who use them already attended private schools before receiving them. Rather than creating opportunity or “choice”, these programs subsidize tuition for families who can already afford private schools.

Michigan's Constitution prohibits public funds for private schools. That's for a reason! Michiganders rejected vouchers in 1978 and 2000. Our communities have made it clear: we believe that public dollars belong in public schools. Trump and Devos' current voucher scheme puts all of this at risk.

Tell Governor Whitmer to reject this federal voucher scheme and protect accessible education: https://actionnetwork.org/events/opt-out-michigan-no-vouchers-public-information-session/
