NEED Series, Data Blog [3]
On May 30th, 2023, Governor Jim Pillen signed into law LB753, more commonly known as the “School Choice Law” or “Opportunity Scholarship Act”. Passage of this bill would authorize $25 million in (dollar-for-dollar) tax credits to those who donate scholarship money for students to attend a private school in Nebraska. This has raised questions and criticism from public school advocates who believe this bill will neglect public school systems by diverting funding from Nebraska’s public schools whom educate more than 90% of Nebraska’s children.
To contend the bill, a referendum petition was filed. The aims of the referendum was to repeal LB753 through an age-old democratic system – through citizen votes. By collecting enough signatures from Nebraskans, the referendum petition would place the LB753 bill on the 2024 general election ballot for Nebraskans to vote on. Placing the bill on the 2024 ballot require petitioners to collect at least 61,308 signatures. Additional stipulations demanded petitioners to collect signatures of more than 5% of the registered voters in 38 (of 93) counties. This petition spurred the creation of the “decline to sign” movement, a group of LB753 “school choice” supporters who encourage Nebraskans to refuse to sign the petition.
On Tuesday, October 10th, the Nebraska Secretary of State confirmed that an adequate number of signatures were collected from each state, thus placing the repeal of LB753 on the upcoming general election ballot. News broke loose on Twitter alongside a call to identify the percentage of “Yes” votes from counties that lacked a private school (see replies to below tweet).

Using the results published by Nebraska the Secretary of State and existing a dataset of private schools found in each county, a descriptive analysis was conducted. Per the data from the Secretary of State, a county that met the 5% signature threshold was denoted by a “Yes” in the Decision column. The below Table 1 exhibits these decisions for counties with and without a private school.

Private School by Decision Cross-tabulated Table
A \(\chi^2\) test of independence is a common technique to examine whether two categorical (nominal) variables are related to one another. Here, I tested whether meeting the 5% threshold of signatures depended on if the county contained at least one private school. Results suggest that meeting the required percentage of signatures did not relate to whether a county included a private school (\(\chi^2(1, N = 93) = 0.682, p = 0.409\)). The below bar chart further illustrates these findings. Hover your cursor over the plot to see the percentage of each bar.

County Data
As an advocate of data transparency, the below tables demonstrate every county’s signature decision alongside every recognized private school within the county. Using both datasets listed above, school names were mapped to their respective county alongside the county’s signature decision. You are welcome to download this full data table here.
