Coalition Letter to Senators Urging Opposition to Ensign Amendment to the Omnibus Appropriations Bill

Would undo language prohibiting further funding of the DC private school voucher program

The undersigned organizations of the National Coalition for Public Education (NCPE) strongly urge you to oppose an amendment to be offered to the FY 2009 omnibus appropriations bill by Senator Ensign that would undo compromise language adopted last year prohibiting further funding of the Washington, D.C., private school voucher program absent a program reauthorization.
