SELECTIVE ACCESS, NOT REAL CHOICE
Voucher schools can reject students based on disability, academics, religion, or family status, making these policies inherently discriminatory.
TAXPAYERS PAY THE BILL WHILE VOUCHERS REWARD THOSE ALREADY ABLE TO PAY
Taxpayer schemes drain public funds intended for all students and provide funds to the already advantaged.
NO ACADEMIC BENEFITS
Studies in Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio & Washington, D.C. show voucher programs produce little to no academic improvement and often worse outcomes than public schools.
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY
Voucher schools are not required to meet the same standards or report results, increasing the risk of fraud & waste of taxpayer dollars.
HARM TO ALL COMMUNITIES
Voucher schemes siphon away essential funding, destabilizing local schools and hurting all families.
