How do you feel about vouchers for public schools only?
Advertisements [?]


That is, vouchers would only be available to parents with children in failing public schools (how failing is to be defined is a debate for another time) to attend another public school of their choice.

I would make it so that public schools could only accept voucher students from outside of their neighborhood as there is room. In other words, a public school first and foremost has to serve its neighborhood, then as spots are open it could take voucher students from other neighborhoods and districts.

Private schools should not be eligible for voucher money.
