Quality source, thank you.
How do you see the vouchers working?
A flat rate per student or based on the tax you contribute?

The only way I see them working is they are limited and possibly income based.
Meaning if the voucher is worth 10k. You can only spend 10k. You can pay more. That’ll encourage schools to keep their prices down. If someone wants to send their kids to an 11k school they have to pay the whole 11k.
I don’t know the right dollar amount but there should be a cap. Right parents are often sending their kids to private schools anyway. The goal of vouchers is to push bottom scoring schools to do better or another way is you only get vouchers if you school is scoring in a certain category.
The school I attended was one of the top in the nation. My family was poor but hypothetically we shouldn’t be offered vouchers due to the quality of education provided.
I see inner cities getting the most benefit but rural America will still struggle. That’s a tough nut to crack since the population density is low.

Ohio is spending more per pupil in 2024, they are above $14,000 but I’m having trouble finding the report. The trend is still the same it’s significantly more to educate a kid in public school.
