The Wisconsin Institute for Law &amp; Liberty (WILL) has issued a response.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Quotes:\u00a0<\/strong>WILL Research Director, Will Flanders, PhD, stated, \u201cWhile\u00a0it\u2019s not surprising, it is certainly disappointing to hear Governor Evers\u2019 plan to freeze\u00a0private school choice\u00a0enrollment. A \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 model does not\u00a0meet the educational needs of every student, and school choice clearly offers\u00a0important\u00a0options for Wisconsin families and better academic results.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>WILL\u00a0Associate\u00a0Counsel, Cory Brewer,\u00a0stated,\u00a0\u201cNo student, parent, or educator should accept the false narrative that\u00a0zoned\u00a0public schools\u00a0can work for everyone. Why does Governor Evers\u00a0disregard\u00a0the fact that school choice options continue to provide significant performance advantages for Wisconsin students?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Background:<\/strong> Read WILL\u2019s latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/will-law.org\/apples-to-apples-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 Apples to Apples report<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/will-law.org\/apples-to-apples-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">,<\/a>\u00a0an assessment of the state of education in Wisconsin.
