School Vouchers are a good idea:
- Next year, Utah will spend $7,500 per public school student—nearly four times the average amount of a Referendum 1 scholarship.
- There are more than 120 private schools across all of Utah. 94% of Utahans live in a county that has a private school.
- The average tuition at a k-8 private school is under $4,000; some even have tuition under $3,000.
- Taxpayers save $5,500 on every child that transfers from a
public school to a private school using a scholarship.
- Financial studies have found that Referendum 1 will mean more than $1 billion in additional funding for public schools.
- Parental choice scholarship programs like Referendum 1 have been successfully used in states across the country.
I completely agree.. My wife is a school teacher and its amazing the amount of effort and resources the NEA and UEA goes through to lie/brainwash the teachers in Utah..... The debate wouldn't exist if these corrupt union leaders weren't afraid of loosing there pay checks.
