@HattieMags In other states that started vouchers, 80% of the vouchers went to families who were already in private schools. That didnโt accomplish new choice. It just funneled public money into private pockets.
@HattieMags How does giving public money to private schools root out misuse? How can cutting a schoolโs budget have any possible positive result for remaining students? Would a $4200 voucher really help anyone but the already well-off go to a private school?
@HattieMags When the first few leave, the budget is cut. Working within the budget means larger classes and fewer electives. Then the next few leave. The budget is cut, and so on. Cutting public budgets and closing schools to divert funds to private schools is a death spiral.
@BourbonPleaz@nckhui@dawnbvaughan Bless your heart. You believe that routing public school money to private schools will somehow improve public schools.
@nckhui State reps are valuing business over education. Glad the school board is bringing attention to this and trying to do whatโs best for the students.
@nckhui Note this is $10,000. Not a lot a money out of the state budget. Hopefully this passes and the state legislators spend less time on it than Internet posters spend complaining about it.
