Voters Reject School Choice Measures in Key States

Ballot initiatives supporting school choice fail in Colorado, Kentucky, and Nebraska, reflecting a complex national divide.

Colorado, Kentucky, and Nebraska voters turned down measures to allocate public funds for private education, reflecting resistance to school choice initiatives.
In Kentucky, Amendment 2, which would have allowed future school choice policies, was defeated by a wide margin.
Nebraska voters repealed a $10 million school voucher program, highlighting strong opposition despite legislative approval earlier this year.
Colorado's Amendment 80, aimed at establishing a constitutional right to school choice, failed to gain the necessary support.
Despite setbacks in these states, school choice remains a significant issue, with ongoing support in other states like Texas.
