❗️Due to vouchers being pulled from the budget, we no longer need to lobby in Lincoln today. Please continue to contact your senators.❗️

📢 Good news to share!

The Chair of the Appropriations Committee has indicated that the $3.5 million for vouchers is no longer included in the state budget bill—for now.

We’ll continue watching closely as the bill is debated on Select File tomorrow.

Thank you for speaking up and standing strong for Nebraska public school students—your voice made a difference!
