Many voucher supporters argue that public schools will experience budget gains since they will not have to serve students who leave their schools to go into choice programs. In November, voters in both California and Michigan overwhelmingly rejected proposals to create statewide voucher programs. California s proposal would have been available to all students while Michigan s would have been open only to students in districts where less than two-thirds of the students graduate from high school. However, it remains to date that no voucher program has ever been passed by the voting public. In addition, both California and Michigan have shown great interest in education reforms throughout most of the 1990s, as evidenced by the large number of charter schools operating in each.
