We were among the 37 organizations and individuals providing testimony against HB 2550 (an Education Savings Account aka voucher bill) in the House K-12 Education Budget Committee. There were four proponents, the usual suspects – Kansas Policy Institute, Americans for Prosperity, Americans for Prosperity-Kansas and a representative from Ed Choice who joined the Web Ex from out of state. Our opposition is based on data and principles.
