Los presupuestos no son solo números: reflejan prioridades. En Nebraska, los legisladores se enfrentan con decisiones difíciles sobre cómo asignar recursos limitados.
Budgets aren’t just numbers — they reflect priorities. In Nebraska, policymakers are facing difficult decisions about how to allocate limited resources. Including private school vouchers in the budget means choosing to fund a separate system...
La gente de Nebraska ya se ha expresado. En 2024, los votantes rechazaron un programa estatal de vales para escuelas privadas. Esa decisión reflejó inquietudes respecto a la rendición de cuentas y las prioridades de financiación, y demostró un apoyo abrumador a la educación pública de Nebraska.
Nebraskans have already spoken. In 2024, voters rejected a statewide private school voucher program. That decision reflected clear concerns about accountability and funding priorities and demonstrated overwhelming support for Nebraska's public education.
🏛️ 🗓️‼️ Esta semana en la Legislatura de Nebraska: del 17 al 20 de marzo de 2026 El debate sobre el presupuesto estatal comienza esta semana en la Legislatura de Nebraska.
