North Carolina Policy Watch confirmed to The New Civil Rights Movement in an email conversation that the school is eligible for taxpayer-funded vouchers.
In an article, NC Policy Watch notes that “the school voucher program … will siphon $10 million out of public schools next year so that parents can send their kids to private schools with taxpayer money. That amount is expected to rise per annum if the program continues on in the future.”
North Carolina Democratic state Rep. Marcus Brandon, who supports the school voucher program, said “I don’t believe they should get one dollar of taxpayer money.”
The school’s letter is available for download.
