Support Our Schools Nebraska held a petition drive to repeal private school voucher system
SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (KTIV) – The group, “Support Our Schools Nebraska” held a petition drive to support public school students.
This was their last day to get signatures. They have a total of 14 events going on throughout the state.
Last year, more than 117,000 Nebraskans signed a successful referendum petition to put the repeal of a private school voucher system on the ballot. That measure was stopped by State Senator Lou Ann Linehan.
Support Our Schools Nebraska wants public funds going to public schools not private since the majority of students in Nebraska attend a public school.
“Most people want to have a voice, so they want to have a vote and say I want my tax dollars going to the public schools that’s where it’s important where they be because most of the kids in Nebraska go to public schools very few go to the private schools,” said Tracia Blom a Nebraska teacher.
They say they have enough signatures, and this should be on the ballot this November.
“We are confident we’re going to be on the ballot and then in November we’re just going to really make sure people remember that they need to get out and vote and that they are voting for their public schools,” said Vice President Support Our Schools Nebraska Paul Schulte.
