re: GATOR scholarship bill successfully gets through LA subcommittee

Yep. Easy way for RINOs to walk away from the problems they helped cause in La our entire lives.
Abandon public schools they are responsible for and give $ to the parents to spend as they want.
Wait until Landry finds out 1,000 illegals ++ got $ that went back to Haiti and Honduras.

This is a voucher program FOR KIDS In other words, what all conservatives have wanted for decades
So now I can open a “school” in a storefront, recruit parents and make cash profit from state handouts running the “school” as a business. Is that really what conservatives want?

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.

Sure they probably don’t have any ties.
The private schools taking these current vouchers are worse than the public schools too.
Give away $600 Million and still have the taxpayer burden to run the public schools.

This is going to coat the state about $500 million from what I hear.

Can’t put lipstick on a pig. Quality schools are due to involved parenting and holding their kids and teachers accountable. The good schools will fall.

Not this conservative. Free shite is free shite regardless who gets it.
I’ve never understood why conservatives have always wanted vouchers in schools. I’m right wing and yet I think vouchers are fricking garbage and bring the quality of the school down. Voucher students are almost always the ones that cause trouble at schools. They get into fights and are disrespectful to everyone including teachers. Yeah it’s stereotyping, but that was the case with the private high school I went to.

It's probably made for the poors, as with everything else.
Yep, I called this shite before the bill made it to committee. The other states don’t limit it to poors, in Louisiana’s bill poors get 80% of the cost per pupil, and non poors only get 55%.
ETA: I don’t see the 80% and 55% directly quoted in the current documentation but it shows that students below 250% of the poverty line would get 7k and those above that would receive 4.8k. Just did the rough math and those numbers work out to the percentages

Does this mean you can double dip? And add this to the existing 529pool, or run them simultaneously?

It's in HB745.
quote:
5(2) An amount equivalent to eighty percent of the average state and local
6 allocation per pupil as provided in the minimum foundation program formula for a
7 student from a family with a total income that does not exceed two hundred fifty
8 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.
9 (3) An amount equivalent to fifty-five percent of the average state and local
10 allocation per pupil as provided in the minimum foundation program formula for any
11 other student.
Also looks like current private school students (non-switchers) aren't eligible until the 2027-2028 school year.

Edit is this cheese program the same or in addition to the private school voucher program?

This is dumb. Here’s my prediction.
1. Parents with kids currently rolled in private (mostly Catholic schools) will get the voucher
2. Those schools will raise tuition roughly in the amount of the voucher, so this will be a short term boon to private schools (mostly Catholic ones).
3. In a few years the program will be deemed to cost too much and the voucher pulled away from all or all but low income parents.
4. The tuition hike will remain.
In conclusion - government spending will inflate costs and the middle to upper middle income folks will be hurt the most.

It's much higher if this chart is accurate.
quote:Current voucher students are excluded as there wouldn't be a cost difference.
PAR’s analysis assumes, based on the experience of Arizona, that about 4% of public school students would enroll in the ESA program. These students would create a net cost of $39 million. Based on the explosive growth in universal ESA programs as well as the growth of the TOPS college tuition program once income limits were removed, the analysis also assumes that 80% of parents with children in private schools would eventually use ESAs. Little downside exists for those families since those students can stay where they are but with newly obtained state assistance.

Why do they always take my money for other peoples kids? Why can’t we get a stipend for responsible childfree adults with some IPAs and board games? Tired of paying for yalls bailout

Your analogy doesn’t move the needle. Society would be better off if food stamps meant government bread, beans, and cheese.
