re: Bill would let state pay parents up to $15,000 to send kids to private school

I think this is probably the fastest way to make the state more competitive from a K-12 education perspective.

The special interest will hate it because it will get kids out of questionable public schools. And the stats published will exclude private schools and the political left will go on the attack ignoring that fact.

In 10 years the headlines will be all about how this republican state destroyed public schools. But it will ignore overall outcomes because most private schools that would draw students away from public schools are at least somewhat competitive already.

Now most private schools will also hike tuition now. That’s going to be a thing, especially from smaller schools whose tuition is lower than what the state will cover.
