My only question is does this open private schools up to government rules? I would think not since the funds are not directly given to the schools.


I guess the devil is in the details here. Since the money is not given directly to the schools, I would say no...

But... perhaps the state sets up rules that limit what the money can be used for. Does the state say that the money can only be used for a private school that administers the XYZ test? To a private school that has a non-discrimination policy? Etc?

There are ways you could limit it. Or not limit it.

So, if you choose to send your child to public school, does that school district get cut a check from the account automatically?

Also, trying to understand this statement:

"Creates an opportunity for the best and highest rated public school districts in
Louisiana to stem the continued excess migration into those top school districts.
Excessive migration into top rated public school districts create school overcrowding
and overdevelop of homes that inevitably result in traffic congestion, increased
drainage problems, and the flooding of homes and businesses."

I didn't grow up in Louisiana; I'm from the MS Gulf Coast and had a good k-12 public school system. Is this bill trying to funnel more kids into private or charter schools instead of families trying to live in good public school districts?
