Vice President Mike Pence says the Trump administration is working on a new education program which will provide more than $5 billion in funding to U-S school choice programs.
Pence and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos were at the state Capitol in Madison Tuesday speaking at an event.
He gave former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson credit for making history when he created the first school choice program in the country.
Pence told the crowd of mostly school choice students that he was “for school choice before it was cool.”
