School Choice Bill Heads To Full Senate Vote - New Jersey 101.5 FM
How does it work in your state? Can vouchers be used for religious schools? Can anyone qualify or is it just based on need?
Vouchers are available for students living in low-income households, but it's usually for young kids that require child care. I don't believe vouchers are available in Arkansas.
I'm weary of this whole voucher idea. To me, this just gives the government another way to influence private schools. I'd prefer they stay out of it. I don't want the government telling private schools which kids they can and cannot admit.
Good point. That's something I'm wondering as well. Public funds; public rules. Too many strings attached. However, I think NJ may get around this by taking the money from corporations.
Also - what's the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit? I'm trying to understand how this will "steal money" from public ed.
