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

The State and its public school system have done this to themselves with extremely low quality output. Much blame can also be placed on the degradation of the traditional family unit. But, if you know history, this degradation also leeds back to State run programs.

Cost taxpayers several hundred million dollars a year? - Yeah, but No. Many families pay more than their "fair share" of taxes dedicated to the failing State run education system with zero family benefit. It's demoralizing to pay such taxes then she'll out 5 figures annually on private education.

Weaken public school systems? - Yes, they are so terrible that they will be rendered obsolete. But they are 90% terrible already. They are already a failure and are quickly getting worse. Charters are killing them already and rightfully so.

Reduce educational accountability? - No. Private schools are capitalism. Provide a good product or people will find it elsewhere.
