Exactly one week after Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen signed a bill incentivizing donations to scholarship funds for private and faith-based schools, Nebraska public school supporters launched an effort to repeal it.
Educators, nonprofits and several other local groups banded together under the organization Support our Schools Nebraska for the petition drive against Legislative Bill 753, which just passed the Nebraska Legislature. The petition aims to put the repeal of LB 753 on the 2024 ballot.
