Private schools will double their tuition costs overnight.
I may be naive here but why is this a guaranteed thing? I'd imagine the costs going up some but double? Who would get all this extra tuition? certainly not the teachers. I just don't see why a school would outprice a large number of their students without it benefitting someone.

I was thinking the same thing.
Why would prices go up?
If they do that then budgets go up, and no school will set a budget to a program that isn't tried and true.

If the money is going to all families regardless of income, that's $5k (or whatever amount) being shaved off their existing families' tuition bill. It would be nice if they didn't increase tuition, but I think we would be naive to think they won't because.. well.. now they can. They know their families can afford it already.
They also would need to ensure "undesirable" families aren't attending, to ensure they don't lose their "desirable" families. Only way to do that is to make your tuition high enough that the stipend won't cover all/most of it.
Google says there are numerous private schools in Louisiana that are less than $5000-$7500.

They may not double it, but if you are a school that charges 8k tuition and you have no problem getting enough kids to go to your school, and all of a sudden each of these families that send kids to your school has an extra 5k of “income” per child that can only go towards tuition, why wouldn’t you up your tuition by 5k? It had no “negative” affect on those families, as they are still out of pocket the same amount, and you’ve greatly increased your revenue.
