Litigation of school choice and school vouchers in Wisconsin Supreme Court should end, the\u00a0Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s largest business group filed an amicus brief with the court. It asks justices to\u00a0reject the lawsuit that seeks to end school choice and school vouchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince its founding in 1911, WMC has been dedicated to making Wisconsin the most competitive state in the nation in which to conduct business,\u201d the brief states. \u201cWMC and its members have a strong interest in this case. Many employers in Wisconsin, along with the public, support school choice. If the Petitioners get the relief they are seeking, the result will harm students, their families, teachers, and businesses and consumers who rely on a skilled workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group says thousands of families across the state will be \u201cdevastated\u201d if school choice comes to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the it prevails in this case, the negative impacts for the students currently using these choice and charter programs \u2013 and for our state as a whole \u2013 would be far reaching and long term,\u201d the filing says. \u201cStriking down these voucher programs would throw our state\u2019s educational system into chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce\u00a0says any challenge should first go to a local court.<\/p>\n

The filing says petitioners waited five to 10 years to file, and says the lawsuit \u201cdoes not involve an exigent situation that cannot await litigation in the circuit court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kirk Bagnstad filed the lawsuit. He says school choice hurts traditional public schools and is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty,\u00a0earlier this week<\/a>, asked to join the case on behalf of choice parents across the state.<\/p>\n
