Ask your state senator to support the EdChoice voucher expansion in HB 59.
Then call all senators to deliver the same message.
HB 59 expands vouchers to low-income kindergarteners, regardless of their zip code.
Let your senators know how this expansion helps parents and students choose the school that is best for their individual needs.

The budget bill (which contains the voucher expansion) will likely go to a conference committee to work out differences between the House and Senate. The budget must be signed by June 30. Thank you to all those who contacted their senators. There was an unsuccessful attempt to remove the voucher from the bill.
