AFP-WY Condemns Teachers Union For Blocking School Choice for Nearly 4,000 Wyoming Families
SUNDANCE, WY – Americans for Prosperity – Wyoming (AFP-WY) released a statement condemning the preliminary injunction resulting from a lawsuit brought by the Wyoming Education Association. The injunction, issued today by the First Judicial District Court, blocks the implementation of Wyoming’s Education Savings Account (ESA) program. The Injunction leaves approximately 3,500 families across the Cowboy State without access to the educational resources they were counting on for the upcoming school year.
AFP-WY State Director Tyler Lindholm released the following statement:
“Today’s injunction is the latest effort by self-absorbed teachers’ union officials to stand in the way of Wyoming families’ ability to secure the best education possible for their children. Thousands of families will now be prevented from accessing critical dollars for tuition, therapies, tutoring, and other expenses.”
“The teachers’ union’s reprehensible crusade proves that these officials are not advocates for Wyoming children. They are advocates for themselves.”
The blocked ESA program would have provided families $7,000 accounts for educational materials without affecting any public school funding. Wyoming’s ESA program passed with bipartisan support and operates completely separate from public school funding.
