Nebraska public school advocates gathered sufficient signatures to place a private school funding repeal on the November ballot.

Public school advocates in Nebraska have gathered enough signatures to place a repeal measure on the November ballot regarding a new law providing taxpayer funding for private school tuition. Over 62,000 valid signatures have been verified, surpassing the 5% threshold in 57 counties. This is the second time this year the advocates have attempted to reverse the use of public money for private school tuition. The law, which directly funds private school scholarships from state coffers, has divided opinions, with both opponents and supporters anticipating a legal battle.
