Parent volunteers in Wisconsin demonstrated the power of parent advocacy, as over 300 parents took to the phone lines and to the halls of the State House to successfully advocate in support of lifting an enrollment cap on virtual charter schools.  Tired of watching their children and their peers locked out of the school of their choice thanks to an arbitrary cap, parents took to the phone lines to make calls to state legislators, served as guests and callers on talk radio programs, and testified before legislative committees in support of their children's education.

The Wisconsin Coalition of Virtual School Families issued a release in support of Gov. Scott Walker's signing of the budget legislation, eliminating the virtual school enrollment cap.

While this victory is sweet for Wisconsin's students, the fight for increased school choice is far from over.  Parent volunteers continue to hit the pavement in support of expanding the enrollment process for students to enroll in the school of their choice.   This issue is set to be taken up by the legislature later this session.
