AFP-WI State Director Megan Novak released the following statement:

“We are proud of our AFP activists who passionately advocated for historic funding measures for our students this past year, and we are grateful for policy champions who continue to defend and invest in education freedom.

“As the first school choice program in the nation, Wisconsin continues to serve as an example to the rest of the country that education freedom provides the best opportunities and path to success for students.

“As we celebrate National School Choice Week, we recognize the numerous historic achievements in the Badger State that contributed to the overall success of the national school choice movement.
