Organizers still need to collect over 255,000 signatures by July 2 to place the initiative on the November ballot.
Here’s what you all said about it:
💬 “I think the ESA program is a great support for families who need it, and I also believe stronger accountability and transparency are much needed within the program. Steps like income limits, safety requirements, and reducing wasteful spending are reasonable ways to protect both families and taxpayers while preserving educational choice. I’m glad voters are getting the chance to weigh in on these matters.” — Mallori Z.
💬 “It is a good start but doesn’t go far enough. The voucher program needs to end.” — Dennis R.
💬 “150 limit purely to defund charter schools, a goal of public school teachers. Safety laws should set minimum requirements for ALL schools. Financial fraud is already illegal. No need for bill except as an attempt to defund charter schools.” — Paul A.
💬 “As a public school educated individual who went on to an Ivy League University, I am not in favor of school vouchers. However, I recognize that vouchers are the new reality in public education. I am definitely in favor of setting standards and controlling what appears to be a program with minimal fiscal controls. Public schools are tightly controlled fiscally and the same should apply for school voucher programs.” — Bonnie C.
💬 “They need to be eliminated entirely and that money needs to go to public schools!” — Jeff H.
