What are your thoughts if this program would be altered so that the only people who qualify for the gator scholarship are kids who are currently enrolled in public school?

Well it would certainly solve the cost issue... it would actually be a net savings.

I don't know if that would pass constitutional muster. I also don't know how you would enforce that. If a kid goes to private school for one day of Kinder... is that kid ot of the program for life? What if the kid in second grade transfers from private to public. Could he transfer back to private in 4th grade and get the money?

The reality is, the state saves money by having so many current students in private schools. If every private school kid in LA, decided this upcoming fall to switch to public school, we would have a MASSIVE fiancial issue.
