“I will continue to advocate and fight for school choice programs in Wisconsin and across the nation.”

OSHKOSH — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said this Monday in recognition of National School Choice Week:

“National School Choice Week is a time to celebrate how families benefit from having the ability to choose the type of education that is best for their children. The increasingly high demand nationwide for charter schools and private school choice programs shows how important choice in education is to families. While there were many victories for school choice in 2015, these programs continue to face opposition at the expense of students' best interests. I will continue to advocate and fight for school choice programs in Wisconsin and across the nation.”
