Assembly Democrats Want to Kick 500 Kids Out of Choice Schools

Will Milwaukee’s Democrats stand up for the Choice program or cower behind Red Fred’s skirt?

Democrats who control the state Assembly voted Thursday to cap participation in Milwaukee’s parents’ choice program at 19,500 students for the next two years - about 500 fewer students than the number who now attend private schools at state expense.

If it becomes law, the change would reverse a 2006 compromise that would have allowed participation to grow to 22,500.
