I can 100 percent promise you the archdiocese of new orleans, etc, will jack up tuition prices by $6K and tell parents to go get the money from the state.


I think they will do it slowly, but yes.

An elementary school with 500 kids getting even an extra $500k per year could easily convince parents that they get $1k of the $6k and the school can make significant upgrades and everyone wins. Then that $1k becomes $2k because they could give raises to teachers. And so forth.

Which then leads to parents putting political pressure on the state to find more money for this, since the whole "point" of this program is now being eaten away by higher tuition payments. And the cycle continues.

You are right... it might be over time.
