re: #24 The Ghost of a Flea

Consider also that because of the vetting system involved in creating the list of schools that can receive vouchers, it’s not a blind system.

So state money is being routed to schools that have an ideology that the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education approves of…and guess what unstated criterion _{*cough* religous tests} are being applied?

Schools are letting BESE know how many voucher students they are willing/able to accept. I know the high school my daughter went to is accepting very few - but they have an overflow of applicants every year, as do all the good private schools. It’s schools like the one mentioned in my earlier comment that will end up with the vouchers - they are willing to take a lot of voucher students because they don’t yet have a school (or have a new small school) and they want to use the voucher money to start a school or get more students.
