Published July 1, 1999

David Urbanski, director of the Blum Center for Parental Freedom in Education at Marquette University, Milwaukee, reports that school choice measures introduced during the 1999 legislative sessions of many states failed to win approval, either at the committee level or by a vote in the legislature.
