Voucher Reform

Next topic.

I promised some folks a couple months ago that I'd tackle (as best I can) the coucher issue.

I think I can make a reasonable plan. Now, this doesn't mean I could get it through the unions. I'm not naive.

OBJECTIVES

Vouchers available to, at a minimum, parent of children in "failing" schools.
Money spent per child average should be the same or perhaps boosted in some way.
Schools losing the student must have some incentive to agree and/or approve.

Definitions

The definitions may change as I go and do more research.

Failing: A school fails if the students (not including special needs children) cannot meet a national standard on a standardized test.
